(Data processing) a. A national medical testing laboratory wants a new computer system to analyze its test results. The system must be capable of processing each day’s results as well as retrieving and outputting a printed report of all results meeting certain criteria, such as all results for a particular doctor or for hospitals in a certain state. Determine three or four major
b. Suppose someone enters incorrect data for a test result, and the error is discovered after the system has entered and stored the data. What program unit is needed to correct this problem? Discuss why such a program unit might or might not be required by most systems.
c. A program unit has been developed that allows users to change data that has been entered and stored incorrectly. Discuss the need for including an “audit trail” that would allow reconstructing the changes later as well as when they were made and who made them.

- (Physics) a. Design, write, compile, and run a C++ program to calculate the elapsed time it takes to make a 183.67-mile trip. This is the formula for computing elapsed time: elapsedtime=totaldistance/averagespeed The average speed during the trip is 58 mph. b. Manually check the values computed by your program. After verifying that your program is working correctly, modify it to determine the elapsed time it takes to make a 372-mile trip at an average speed of 67 mph.arrow_forward(Oceanography) The pressure, P, exerted on an underwater object can be determined by this formula: P=gh is the density of water, which is 1.94slug/ft3 . g is the acceleration caused by Earth’s gravity, which is 32.2ft/sec2. h is the object’s depth in the water in feet. a. Determine the units of P by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for pressure listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the pressure on a submarine operating at a depth of 2500 feet.arrow_forward(Physics) a. The weight of an object on Earth is a measurement of the downward force onth e object caused by Earth’s gravity. The formula for this force is determined by using Newton’s Second Law: F=MAeFistheobjectsweight.Mistheobjectsmass.AeistheaccelerationcausedbyEarthsgravity( 32.2ft/se c 2 =9.82m/ s 2 ). Given this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program to calculate the weight in lbf of a person having a mass of 4 lbm. Verify the result produced by your program with a hand calculation. b. After verifying that your program is working correctly, use it to determine the weight, on Earth, of a person having a mass of 3.2 lbm.arrow_forward
- (Automotive) a. An automobile engine’s performance can be determined by monitoring its rotations per minute (rpm). Determine the conversion factors that can be used to convert rpm to frequency in hertz (Hz), given that 1rotation=1cycle,1minute=60seconds,and1Hz=1cycle/sec. b. Using the conversion factors you determined in Exercise 7a, convert 2000 rpm into hertz.arrow_forward(Practice) Determine the values of the following integer expressions: a.3+46f.202/( 6+3)b.34/6+6g.( 202)/6+3c.23/128/4h.( 202)/( 6+3)d.10( 1+73)i.5020e.202/6+3j.( 10+3)4arrow_forward(General math) a. Design, write, compile, and run a C++ program to calculate the volume of a sphere with a radius, r, of 2 in. The volume is given by this formula: Volume=4r33 b. Manually check the values computed by your program. After verifying that your program is working correctly, modify it to determine the volume of a cube with a radius of 1.67 in.arrow_forward
- State whether the following are true or false. If the answer is false, explain why.c) The expression (x > y && a < b) is true if either x > y is true or a < b is true.arrow_forwardDevelop a program to evaluate the following arithmetic expressions using the values providedarrow_forwardPlease provide me a machine problem one for each of these belowarrow_forward
- (General math) a. Write a C++ program to calculate and display the value of the slope of the line connecting two points with the coordinates (3,7) and (8,12). Use the fact that the slope between two points with the coordinates (x1,y1)and(x2,y2)is(y2y1)/(x2x1). b. How do you know the result your program produced is correct? c. After verifying the output your program produces, modify it to determine the slope of the line connecting the points (2,10) and (12,6). d. What do you think will happen if you use the points (2,3) and (2,4), which results in a division by zero? How do you think this situation can be handled? e. If your program doesn’t already do so, change its output to this: The value of the slope is xxx.xx The xxx.xx denotes placing the calculated value in a field wide enough for three places to the left of the decimal point and two places to the right of it.arrow_forward(Practice) State whether the following variable names are valid.
