7. World Series Winners
In this chapter's source code folder (available on the Computer Science Portal at www.
pearsonhighered.com/gaddis), you will find a text file named WorldSeriesWinners.
txt. This file contains a chronological list of the World Series' winning teams from 1903
through 2009. The first line in the file is the name of the team that won in 1903, and the
last line is the name of the team that won in 2009. (Note the World Series was not played
in 1904 or 1994. There are entries in the file indicating this.)
Write a program that reads this file and creates a dictionary in which the keys are the names
of the teams, and each key's associated value is the number of times the team has won the
World Series. The program should also create a dictionary in which the keys are the years,
and each key's associated value is the name of the team that won that year.
The program should prompt the user for a year in the range of 1903 through 2009. It
should then display the name of the…

GAS PRICE
SOLVE a question from "Starting out with Python" by Tony Gaddis Chapter 8, question number 14, the title "Gas Prices"
In the student sample program files for this chapter, you will find a text file named GasPrices.txt. The file contains the weekly average prices for a gallon of gas in the United States, beginning on April 5th, 1993, and ending on August 26th, 2013. Figure 8-7 shows an example of the first few lines of the file's contents:(ATTACHED)
Each line in the file contains the average price for a gallon of gas on a specific date. Each line is formatted in the following way: MM-DD-YYYY: price
MM is the two-digit month, DD is the two-digit day, and YYYY is the four-digit year. Price is the average price per gallon of gas on the specified date. For this assignment, you are to write one or more programs that read the contents of the file and perform the following calculations:
