Concept explainers
(World Population Growth) World population has grown considerably over the centuries. Continued growth could eventually challenge the limits of breathable air, drinkable water, arable cropland and other limited resources. There’s evidence that growth has been slowing in recent years and that world population could peak some time this century, then start to decline.
For this exercise, research world population growth issues online. Be sure to investigate various viewpoints. Get estimates for the current world population and its growth rate (the percentage by which it’s likely to increase this year). Write a
The first column should display the year from year 1 to year 75. The second column should display the anticipated world population at the end of that year. The third column should display the numerical increase in the world population that would occur that year. Using your results, determine the year in which the population would be double what it is today, if this year’s growth rate were to persist.

- 2) A BMI Calculator: the body mass index (BMI) is a measure used to determine whether a person is overweight or not. 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_forwardPlease answer the question if you are sure the answer is correct need asaparrow_forwardQ4: You are a teacher. You would like your students to use a software package, but the school's budget does not include enough money to buy copies for all the students. Your school is in a poor neighborhood, and you know most of the parents cannot afford to buy the software for their children. b) Suppose the methods you try do not work. Will you copy the software or decide not to use it? Give some arguments for and against your position. Explain why you think the arguments on your side are strongerarrow_forward
- Exercise B: Some initial values may make the PageRank algorithm converge faster, you can use a program to try different initial values. You can use a smaller floating number precision (fewer decimal places) to converge faster. Or you can assume if the PageRank values change in less than a certain percentage (e.g., 5%), they are converged.arrow_forward: A large eCommerce company wishes to list the best-selling products, overall and bycategory.

The player is prompted for the number of points to risk and a second prompt asks the player to choose either High or Low. The player’s choice of either High or Low is compared to a random number between 1 and 13, inclusive. If the number is between 1 and 6 inclusive, then it is considered “low”. A number between 8 and 13 inclusive is “high”. The number 7 is neither high nor low, and the player loses the points at risk. If the player had guessed correctly, the points at risk are doubled and added to the total points. For a wrong choice, the player loses the points at risk. Create a HiLo application based on this specification. Application output should look similar to b) Modify the application to allow the player to continue until there are 0 points left. At the end of the game, display the number of guesses the user took before running out of points.arrow_forward
