Programming Exercise 10 in Chapter 6 asks you find the mean and standard deviation of five numbers. Extend this programming exercise to find the mean and standard deviation of up to 100 numbers. Suppose that the mean (average) of n numbers x1, x2, . . ., xn is x. Then the standard deviation of these numbers is:S=sqrt(((x1-x)^2+(x2-x)^2+...+(xi-x)^2+...+(xn-x)^2)/n)

Morgan’s Department Store distributes bonuses to its salespeople after the holiday rush. Table 9-6 shows the bonuses, which are based on full weeks worked during the season and the number of positive online customer reviews. Write a program that allows a user to continuously enter values for the number of weeks worked and the number of positive reviews received and displays the appropriate bonus until the user enter a sentinel value: 99.
19.16 LAB: Area of a triangle
Using Heron's formula, you can calculate the area of a triangle if you know the lengths of all three sides. Given the length of each side of a triangle as input, calculate the area of the triangle using Heron's formula as follows:
s = half of the triangle's perimeter
area = the square root of s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c), where a, b, and c are each sides of the triangle.
Hint: Use the math function sqrt() for calculating the square root.
Output the floating-point value of the area with two digits after the decimal point using the following statement once before all other cout statements:cout << fixed << setprecision(2);
Ex: If the input for a, b, and c is:
3.0 4.0 5.0
the output is:
Triangle area = 6.00

- 18. Tom and Jerry opened a new lawn service. They provide three types of services: mowing, fertilizing, and planting trees. The cost of mowing is $35.00 per 5,000 square yards, fertilizing is $30.00 per application, and planting a tree is $50.00. Write an algorithm that prompts the user to enter the area of the lawn, the number of fertilizing applications, and the number of trees to be planted. The algorithm then determines the billing amount. (Assume that the user orders all three services.)

The formula for this conversion is Celsius=5/9(Fahrenheit32).arrow_forward4. During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }arrow_forward
- (Misc. application) a. The data in the following chart was collected on a recent automobile trip: Write a C++ program that accepts a mileage and gallons value and calculates the miles pergallon (mpg) for that segment of the trip. The mpg is obtained as the difference in mileage between fill-ups divided by the number of gallons of gasoline used in the fill-up. b. Modify the program written for Exercise 9a to also compute and display the cumulative mpg after each fill-up. The cumulative mpg is calculated as the difference between the mileage at each fill-up and the mileage at the start of the trip divided by the sum of gallons used to that point in the trip.arrow_forwardSalary Calculator Create a program that computes the salary based on an employee's hourly wage and hours worked. Note that employees may work for fractions of an hour, e.g. 1 and a half hours (1.5 hours).

- (Factorials) The factorial function is used frequently in probability problems. The factorialof a positive integer n (written n! and pronounced “n factorial”) is equal to the product of the positive integers from 1 to n. Write a program that evaluates the factorials of the integers from 1 to 5.Print the results in tabular format. What difficulty might prevent you from calculating the factorialof 20?arrow_forwardBulgarian solitaire def bulgarian_solitaire(piles, k): You are given a row of piles of pebbles, all identical, and a positive integer k so that the total number of pebbles in these piles equals k*(k+1)//2, the arithmetic sum formula that equals the sum of positive integers from 1 to k. Almost as if intended as a metaphor for the bleak daily life behind the Iron Curtain, all pebbles are identical and you don't have any choice in your moves. Each move picks up one pebble from each pile (even if doing so makes that pile vanish), and creates a new pile from the resulting handful. For example, starting with[7, 4, 2, 1, 1], the first move turns this into [6, 3, 1, 5]. The next move turns that into [5, 2, 4, 4], which then turns into the five-pile configuration [4, 1, 3, 3, 4], and so on. This function should count how many moves are needed to convert the given initial piles into the goal state where each number from 1 to k appears as the size of exactly one pile, and return that count. These…arrow_forwardC++ A dice game called "21" It is a variation on BlackJack where one player plays against the computer trying to get 21 or as close to 21 without going over. Here are the rules of the game: You will play with dice that have numbers from 1 to 11. To win, the player or the computer has to get to 21, or as close as possible without going over. If the player or computer goes over 21, they instantly lose. If there is a tie, the computer wins. Starting the game: The player is asked to give the computer a name. For now, we'll simply call the computer opponent, "computer." The game starts with rolling four dice. The first two dice are for the player. These two dice are added up and the total outputted to the screen. The other two dice are for the computer. Likewise, their total is outputted to the screen. Player: If a total of 21 has been reached by either the player or the computer, the game instantly stops and the winner is declared. Otherwise, the player is asked if they…arrow_forward
