Write a function that computes the average and standard deviation of four scores. The standard deviation is defined to be the square root of the average of the four values: (Si –a)2, where a is average of the four scores S1, S2, S3, and S4. The function will have six parameters and will call two other functions. Embed the function in a driver
Creation of program to compute average and standard deviation
Program Plan:
- Define the method “clc()” to calculate value of standard deviation.
- The variables are been declared initially.
- The difference of value with average is been computed.
- The square of resultant value is been computed.
- The final value is been returned.
- Define the method “stdMean()” to compute value of standard deviation as well as mean of values.
- The variables are been declared initially.
- The value of average is been calculated by summing values and dividing it by count of elements.
- Compute deviations for each value by calling “clc()” method.
- Compute overall value of deviation and return square root of resultant value.
- Define main method.
- Declare variables values of scores.
- Get each value from user.
- Store values in different variables.
- Call “stdMean()”to compute standard deviation as well as mean of values.
- Display standard deviation and mean of values.

- Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions: - getScore– This function ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. For input validation, do not accept test scores lower than 0 or higher than 100. This function should be called by main () once for each of the five scores to be entered. - calcAverage – This function calculates and display the average of the four highest score. This function should be called just once by main (), by should be passed the five scores. - findLowest – This function finds and returns the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage function, which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop.arrow_forwardWrite a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores. You will ask the user to input each test score individually. When calculating the average, the lowest score in the group is dropped. Your program should use the following functions: void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered. void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores. int findLowest) should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage(), which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop. Void displayAverage() should display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called by calcAverage().

- It is estimated that a restaurant's tip box accumulates twice as much as the previous day. Write the function with the main () function that takes the number of days as a parameter and returns the total tip amount on the day entered in the restaurant with a 10-TL tip on the first day.

This function takes in two parameters (both numbers). If the first parameter is greater than the second, this function returns "First is Greater". If the second parameter is greater than the first, this function returns "Second is Greater" Else the function returns "Numbers are Equal".

For example, 2017, 2014, and 2072 are all beautiful years. If the year has BOTH 4 and 7 in it, then it's an “Amazing year”. For example, the years 2047 and 2074 are amazing years. All other years are “Ugly years”. You need to write a function that takes a year as an argument and return it's type. Then, finally print the returned values in the function call. ================================================ Sample Function Call 1: function_name(2470) Sample Output 1: Amazing year ================================================ Sample Function Call 2: function_name(2170) Sample Output 2: Beautiful year ================================================ Sample Function Call 3: function_name(2021) Sample Output 3: Ugly yeararrow_forwardLewis' invention can determine if the weather is too hot (104°F and above) or too cold (50°F and below) once the unit of measure of the temperature is in Fahrenheit. Which is why, he added another function that converts the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit to make his invention work. Create a program that contains the function: HotOrCold(). HotOrCold() function will accept as parameter a temperature type and the temperature and will do the following: Convert the given temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit. a. [F = C + 32] a.

- Change this question to work using a function. decide what the name of the function of each should be, how many parameters are required and what value needs to be returned. You're no longer required to solve the problem - try to re-manage your code to be a function. write a program to prompt to user for hours and rate per hour to compute gross pay. You’ll have to use formatted printing here as well to only display two decimal points. Enter Hours: 35 Enter Rate: 2.75 Pay: $96.25 rate = float (input ("How much do you get paid an hour?")) hours = float(input ("How many hours have you worked?")) print ("Pay: $%.2f"%(rate*hours))arrow_forwardWrite a function in python code for checking the speed of drivers. This function should have one parameter: speed. If speed is less than 70, it should print “Ok”. Otherwise, for every 5km above the speed limit (70), it should give the driver one demerit point and print the total number of demerit points. For example, if the speed is 80, it should print: “Points: 2”. If the driver gets more than 12 points, the function should print: “License suspended”.arrow_forwardThe following formula can be used to determine the distance an object falls due to gravity in a specific time period: d = 1⁄2 gt2The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the time in seconds that the object has been falling. Write a function named fallingDistance that accepts an object’s falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The function should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Write a program that demonstrates the function by calling it in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments and displays the return value.arrow_forward
