Chapter 14, Problem 4PP

Write a generic class, Marks, with a type parameter M where M is a numeric object type (e.g., integer. Double, or any class that extends java .lang .Number ). Add a method named orderAverage that takes an ArrayList of type M and returns a double type data which is the average of the values in the ArrayList. Use the doubleValue( ) method in the Number class to retrieve the value of each number as a double. Test your method with suitable data. Your program should generate a compile-time error if your average method is invoked on an ArrayList and a nonnumeric element is encountered (e.g., strings).

IN JAVA. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!   PART 1 : Automobiles Create a data class named Automobile that implements the Comparable interface. Give the class data fields for make, model, year, and price. Then add a constructor, all getters, a toString method that shows all attribute values, and implement Comparable by using the year as the criterion for comparing instances. Write a program named TestAutos that creates an ArrayList of five or six Automobiles. Use a for loop to display the elements in the ArrayList. Sort the Arraylist of autos by year with Collections.sort(). Finally, use a foreach loop to display the ArrayList sorted by year.
Create a generic class with a type parameter that simulates drawing an item at random out of a box. This class could be used for simulating a random drawing. For example, the box might contain Strings representing names written on a slip of paper, or the box might contain Integers representing a random drawing for a lottery based on numeric lottery picks. Create an add method that allows the user of the class to add an object of the specified type along with an isEmpty method that determines whether or not the box is empty. Finally, your class should have a drawItem method that randomly selects an object from the box and returns it. If the user attempts to drawn an item out of an empty box, return null. Write a main method that tests your class.
Design a generic method 'sum' that accepts an array of any type such as int, double or float and this method will return the sum of all elements in the array. Create a test class and call 'sum twice by passing arrays of different types.
