you face is A certain vehicle loses 3.5% of its value each year. If the vehicle has an initial value of $11,168, construct a model that represents the value of the vehicle after a certain number of years. Use your model to compute the value of the vehicle at the end of 6 years.
Answer:
The solution code is written in Java.
- public class Main {
-
- public static void main(String[] args) {
-
- Scanner inNum = new Scanner(System.in);
- System.out.print("Enter number of toss: ");
- int num = inNum.nextInt();
-
- for(int i=0; i < num; i++){
- System.out.println(toss());
- }
- }
-
- public static String toss(){
- String option[] = {"heads", "tails"};
- Random rand = new Random();
- return option[rand.nextInt(2)];
- }
- }
Explanation:
Firstly, we create a function <em>toss()</em> with no parameter but will return a string (Line 14). Within the function body, create an option array with two elements, "heads" and "tails" (Line 15). Next create a Random object (Line 16) and use <em>nextInt()</em> method to get random value either 0 or 1. Please note we need to pass the value of 2 into <em>nextInx() </em>method to ensure the random value generated is either 0 or 1. We use this generate random value as an index of <em>option </em>array and return either "heads" or "tails" as output (Line 17).
In the main program, we create Scanner object and use it to prompt user to input an number for how many times to toss the coin (Line 6 - 7). Next, we use the input num to control how many times a for loop should run (Line 9). In each round of the loop, call the function <em>toss() </em>and print the output to terminal (Line 10).
Answer:
- def median(l):
- if(len(l) == 0):
- return 0
- else:
- l.sort()
- if(len(l)%2 == 0):
- index = int(len(l)/2)
- mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
- else:
- mid = l[len(l)//2]
- return mid
-
- def mode(l):
- if(len(l)==0):
- return 0
-
- mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
- return mode
-
- def mean(l):
- if(len(l)==0):
- return 0
- sum = 0
- for x in l:
- sum += x
- mean = sum / len(l)
- return mean
-
- lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
- print(mean(lst))
- print(median(lst))
- 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
20.5
12.5
