Chapter 6, Problem 3P

a. Compute the median of a data file. The median is the number that has the same number of data elements greater than the number as there are less than the number. For purposes of this problem, you are to assume that the data is sorted (that is, is in increasing order). The median is the middle element of the file if there are an odd number of elements, or the average of the two middle elements if the file has an even number of elements. You will need to open the file, count the elements, close the file and calculate the location of the middle of the file, open the file again (recall the “start over” discussion in this chapter), count up to the file entries you need, and calculate the middle.

If your instructor has assigned this problem, ask for a data file to test your program with. Otherwise, construct several files on your own, including one with an even number of data points, increasing, and one with an odd number, also increasing.

b. For a sorted file, a quartile is one of three numbers: The first has one-fourth the data values less than or equal to it, one-fourth the data values between the first and second numbers, one-fourth the data points between the second and the third, and one-fourth above the third quartile. Find the three quartiles for the data file you used for part (a).

(Hint: You should recognize that having done part (a) you have one third of your job done—you have the second quartile already. You also should recognize that you have done almost all the work toward finding the other two quartiles as well.)

1.A text file contain birth date of some employees with format dd/mm/yy: 01/06/50 03/06/51 10/02/54 08/01/48 26/08/51 27/04/54 21/09/51 … and so on   Read the file using C and find out how many employees with age: –above 51 –between 44 – 51 –between 36 – 43 –between 28 – 35 –below 28 (note : age = now – birth date) Using C Language, modulo, and file processing, Sir, thx.
Consider the binary file named, "Course_Data" whose format is below. Each record represents a course with a single letter grade, a numerical grade, and the number of assignments in the course. Write a block of code to read the first 200 records and find and print the average of all courses whose letter grade was an "A". Maximum 20 lines of code for credit. (Assume all libraries are included) File format:{  char LGrade;  // Letter Grade: A, B, C, D, F (Single letter)  int  NGrade;  // Number Grade: 0 - 100  int  NOA;     // Number of assignments: 1 - 20}
Please I want a python program for this using CSV write a function that takes a list of strings as inputs, and returns a single string created by joining all the input strings together, with a comma separating them. Now write another function that takes a list of lists of strings, applies the operation from question 1 to each list, and writes the result as a row of an output file. The function should return the path to the file where the strings were written. 3. Now, write the reverse of question 2: write a function that takes in a filename (which we will assume is a CSV), and returns a list of lists of strings, where one row in the file corresponds to one list in the output list (and each value between the commas in the file row is one element in the list).
