Chapter 4, Problem 11PP
A simple random generator is obtained by the formula
rnew = (a · rold + b)%m
and then setting rnew to rold. If m is chosen as 232, then you can compute
rnew = a · rold + b
because the truncation of an overflowing result to the int type is equivalent to computing the remainder.

What is the probability that in a classroom of x people, at least 2 will be born on the same day of the year (ignore leap year)? Use a Monte Carlo Simulation and a frequency table to write a program that calculates this probability, where the number of people (x) in the simulated class is given by the user.
PLEASE USE the outline of the code GIVEN to answer this question:
import mathimport random
# create and initialize frequency table:ft = []k = 0while(k < 365) : ft.append(0) k = k+1
# Allow the user to determine class size:print("Please type in how many people are in the class: ")x= int(input())
success = 0
# Simulate:c = 0while(c < 10000) : # Step 1: re-initialize birthday frequency table (it must be re-initialized for each play-through (why?): k = 0 while(k < 365) : ft[k] = 0 k = k+1 # Step 2: randomly get x birthdays and update frequency table: k = 0 while(k < x): # your code goes here ##########################

- Coupon Collector is a classic statistics problem with many practical applications. The problem is to pick objects from a set of objects repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once. A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another. Write a program to simulate the number of picks needed to get four cards, one from each suit and display the four cards picked (it is possible a card may be picked twice).arrow_forwardMultiple Frequencies. In the last assignment, we calculated the frequency ofa coin flip. This required us to have two separate variables, which we used to record the numberof heads and tails. Now that we know about arrays, we can track the frequency of all numbers ina randomly generated sequence.For this program, you will ask the user to provide a range of values (from 1 to that number,inclusive) and how long of a number sequence you want to generate using that number range.You will then generate and save the sequence in an array. After that, you will count the numberof times each number occurs in the sequence, and print the frequency of each number.Hints: You can use multiple arrays for this assignment. One array should hold thenumber sequence, and another could keep track of the frequencies of each number.Sample Output #1:What’s the highest number you want to generate?: 5How long of a number sequence do you want to generate?: 10Okay, we’ll generate 10 number(s) ranging from 1 to 5!1,…arrow_forwardWrite a program that allows the user to enter a number between 1 and 1000.

- In this exercise, we will write a program to find the sum of all numbers between any two seeded randomly generated numbers, inclusively, where the randomly generated numbers are also included in the sum. For example, if the randomly generated integers are 15 and 25, you need to sum all odd numbers from 15 to 25, and 15 and 25 are also included in the sum. Note that the random number generated may be even, so you should NOT include that number in your sum. In this program, you will: • Generate the first random integer between 10 and 30, inclusive. • Generate a second random integer between 40 and 60, inclusive. • Inside a while loop, accumulate the sum of all numbers between the two random numbers generated, being sure to include the two random numbers in the sum. • Display the two random numbers as well as the sum on the screen with suitable messages.

We can calculate BMI from the weight of the person (in pounds) and the height (in inches) of the person. The formula for calculating BMI is: BMI = (weightInPounds 703) divided by (heightInInches squared) In this problem, you will have to create a BMI calculator, i.e., a Java program, that reads the user's weight in pounds and height in inches, then calculates and displays the user's body mass index BMI. Also, display the following information from the US Department of Health) so the user can evaluate his/her BMI: BMI values: Underweight: less than 18.5 Normal: between 18.5 and 24.9 Overweight: between 25 and 29.9 Obese: 30 or greaterarrow_forward

(In this case, F is $10,000.)• r is the annual interest rate.• n is the number of years that you plan to let the money sit in the account.Write a method named presentValue that performs this calculation.

- 3. Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7 participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.lf the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, the participants at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are not going to start with 2 empty bottles, but rather with 8 empty slots spread over the 5 bottles as explained in the intro video. Start with 5 empty bottles. Use a random number generator to fill bottles one slot at a time with the colours while keeping 8 slots empty – there is a total of 5*4 = 20 slots – so if we will 12 slots, 8 are free. •Advantage: Easy to create a puzzle with a good mix •Disadvantage: With more colours and bottles and only 2 open bottles for more advanced versions of the game, the result might not be solvable. Start with three sorted bottles. In the strategy the idea is to load three bottles with uniform colour and then move ink around for a number of moves until the bottles are mixed up. •Advantage: Result is always solvable since the bottles are created in a reversed-game strategy. •Disadvantage: It is hard to develop an algorithm which…arrow_forward
