The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

<u>Explanation</u>:

a) Apparent specific gravity = \frac{A}{A-C}

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = \frac{A}{A-C}

                                         = \frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}

G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}

       =  2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}

=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}

G_{B}^{S S D} = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%

=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}

=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}

= 373.3 cc

"Write a statement that outputs variable numItems. End with a newline. Program will be tested with different input values."
kirill [66]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Java.

System.out.println(numItems);

Explanation:

Java <em>println() </em>method can be used to display any string on the console terminal. We can use <em>println()</em> method to output the value held by variable <em>numItems.</em> The <em>numItems </em>is passed as the input parameter to <em>println()</em> and this will output the value of <em>numItems</em> to console terminal and at the same time the output with be ended with a newline automatically.

PythonA group of statisticians at a local college has asked you to create a set of functionsthat compute the median and mode of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  1. def median(l):
  2.    if(len(l) == 0):
  3.       return 0
  4.    else:
  5.        l.sort()
  6.        if(len(l)%2 == 0):
  7.            index = int(len(l)/2)
  8.            mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
  9.        else:
  10.            mid = l[len(l)//2]  
  11.        return mid  
  12. def mode(l):
  13.    if(len(l)==0):
  14.        return 0
  15.    mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
  16.    return mode  
  17. def mean(l):
  18.    if(len(l)==0):
  19.        return 0
  20.    sum = 0
  21.    for x in l:
  22.        sum += x
  23.    mean = sum / len(l)
  24.    return mean
  25. lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
  26. print(mean(lst))
  27. print(median(lst))
  28. print(mode(lst))

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).

In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.

In mean function,  after checking the length of list,  we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).

In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get
