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

Of the cost reduction strategies for workers' compensation mentioned in the required readings, which one do you think would work
Vesnalui [34]

In industries together with production, we want people to address the manufacturing of merchandise and the usage of heavy machinery.

<h3>What is the painting situation?</h3>

In such painting situations, people are at risk of injuries, and this prices the maximum for the company. So so that you can put into effect value discount is such conditions we want to have right coincidence cowl plans for the people and make sure all of the protection precautions are taken withinside the factory.

  1. The people have to be properly educated on using protection measures and in case any injuries arise we have to have coverage claims in order that we not want to make investments extra cash and we also can offer protection and protection to the people.
  2. This approach is excellent for this enterprise due to the fact regardless of what number of precautions we take people are uncovered to fitness risks and as a result having the right coverage insurance is a superb value discount strategy.

A utility generates electricity with a 36% efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of 0.6 lb of SO2 per millio
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) 570 kWh of electricity will be saved

b) the amount of  SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c) $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved?

first, we determine the total power consumption by the incandescent lamp

P_{incandescent} = 75 w × 10,000-hr = 750000 wh = 750 kWh

next, we also find  the total power consumption by the fluorescent lamp

P_{fluorescent} = 18 × 10000 = 180000 = 180 kWh

So the value of power saved will be;

P_{saved} = P_{incandescent}  - P_{fluorescent}

P_{saved} = 750 - 180

P_{saved}  = 570 kWh

Therefore, 570 kWh of electricity will be saved.

now lets find the heat of electricity saved in Bituminous

heat saved = energy saved per CLF / efficiency of plant

given that; the utility has 36% efficiency

we substitute

heat saved =  570 kWh/CLF / 36%

we know that; 1 kilowatt (kWh) = 3,412 btu per hour (btu/h)

so

heat saved =  570 kWh/CLF / 0.36 × (3412 Btu / kW-hr (

heat saved = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

i.e eat of electricity saved per CLF is 5.4 × 10⁶

b) How many 2,000-lb tons of SO₂ would not be emitted

2000 lb/tons = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

0.6 lb SO₂ / million Btu = x

so

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ /  million Btu )] / 2000 lb/tons

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ )] / [ ( 10⁶) × ( 2000 lb/ton) ]

x = 3.24 × 10⁶ / 2 × 10⁹

x = 0.00162 ton/CLF

Therefore, the amount of  SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c)  If the utility can sell its rights to emit SO2 at $800 per ton, how much money could the utility earn by selling the SO2 saved by a single CFL?

Amount = ( SO₂ saved per CLF ) × ( rate per CFL )

we substitute

Amount = 0.00162 ton/CLF × $800

= $1.296

Therefore; $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL.
