1. (Dice simulation) Java/C++ program that computes the exact probability distribution for the sum of two dice. Run experiments to validate this calculation simulating N dice throws, keeping track of the frequencies of occurrence of each value when you compute the sum of two random integers between 1 and 6. How large does N have to be before your empirical results match the exact results to three decimal places?
Problem 17. [ 1 point for correctness ]
Use the Design Recipe to define a function pulse_rate that has two parameters. The first is the number of seconds a nurse has counted pulses, and the second is the number of pulses counted (both ints). The function should return the pulse rate, pulses/minute, as a float. Don't forget to convert seconds to minutes! Include a Docstring.(use Python)
For example:
Test
Result
print(round(pulse_rate(30,22),1))
44.0
Use this statement to test your pulse_rate function:
assert_equal(round(pulse_rate(30, 22),1),44.0)

[10] (Display Pattern) Write a C++ function called pattern that displays a pattern of stars and numbers for a given number of columns (passed as a parameter). Maximize your use of repetition (with nested for statements) and minimize the number of cout statements. Your function should then display a pattern of the appropriate size. Write a test program (main) that generates a random number in the range of 1 to 20 (inclusive) to specify the number of columns in the pattern. Use pattern to display the pattern with this random number as the number of columns.

The player selects one of the options listed in a console prompt, then the computer randomly selects an option as well. The winner of the game is determined as follows: Rock beats Scissors - Scissors beats Paper - Paper beats Rock The same selection results in a tie. Your program must do the following: Prompt the player to enter a selection in the console. Provide instructions to user on what is a valid input. For example, you can have the integers 1, 2, and 3 represent the selection, or use the words rock, paper, scissors, etc. Check that the user entered valid input. If the entry is invalid, the program needs to inform the user of the invalid input and can end, or re-prompt the user for their entry. Generate a random selection for the computer's choice. You can use a random integer and follow the same rules as was stated to the user. - Display…arrow_forwardProblem 1 (Ransom Note Problem) in python A kidnapper kidnaps you and writes a ransom note. He does not write it by hand to avoid having his hand writing being recognized, so he uses a magazine to create a ransom note. We need to find out, given the ransom string and magazine string, is it possible to create a given ransom note. The kidnapper can use individual characters of words. Here is how your program should work to simulate the ransom problem: your program should prompt the user to enter a long String to represent the magazine and another short String to represent the required ransom note. your program needs to check if the magazine string contains all required characters in equal or greater number present in the ransom note. your program should print true if it is possible to create the given ransom note from the given magazine, and print false otherwise. Break up your code into a set of well-defined functions. Each function should include a comment block that briefly describes…arrow_forward
- C++ Problem 1: (Monte Carlo Experiments) The Monte Carlo method is used in modeling a wide-range of physical systems at the forefront of scientific research today. Let’s consider the problem of estimating the area of the region x 2 + 2y 2 ≤ 1 by utilizing the Monte Carlo method. This region is enclosed by a blue ellipse, which is inscribed in a 2 × 2 red square (shown in the figure below). The experiment simply consists of throwing darts on this figure completely at random (meaning that every point in the red square has an equal chance of being hit by the dart). You keep throwing darts at random. All of the darts fall within the square, but not all of them fall within the ellipse. If you throw darts completely at random, this experiment estimates the ratio of the area of the ellipse to the area of the square, by counting the number of darts within each area. Program this Monte Carlo method to compute the area of the blue ellipse using different numbers of darts. For each experiment,…arrow_forward(C PROGRAMMING ONLY) 5. Making a Kid From Two Personsby CodeChum Admin `The population is slowly decreasing! It's now time to enable these Persons to create their own. But we need to be careful.

Here is the guide in determining the gender of the newly created Person: If the father is older than the mother, then the child is MaleIf the mother is older than the father, then the child is FemaleIf the father's age is equal to the mother's age and the age is even, then the child is MaleIf the father's age is equal to the mother's age and the age is odd, then the child is Female What are you waiting for, let's settle this problem once and for all!

(Playing the Waltz) Write a program called playwaltz.py that accepts from standard input, a sequence of 32 integers representing the 32 measures of a waltz, and plays the waltz to standard audio. Before playing any audio, your program must check if the inputs are correct, and if they are not, must call sys.exit (message) to exit the program with an appropriate error message. The following errors must be handled: • If the number of measures is not 32, exit with the message "A waltz must contain exactly 32 measures". • If a minuet measure is not from [1,176], exit with the message "A minuet measure must be from [1, 176]". • If a trio measure is not from [1,96], exit with the message "A trio measure must be from [1, 96]". - "/vorkspace/project3 $ python3 generatewaltz.py < data/mozart.txt | python3 playwaltz. py Directions: • Read the waltz measures from standard input into a 1D list. • Handle the input errors described above. • Play each of the first 16 minuet measures by…arrow_forward
- (Apartment problem) A real estate office handles, say, 50 apartment units. When the rent is, say, $600 per month, all the units are occupied. However, for each, say, $40 increase in rent, one unit becomes vacant. Moreover, each occupied unit requires an average of $27 per month for maintenance. How many units should be rented to maximize the profit? Write a program in C++ that prompts the user to enter: The total number of units. The rent to occupy all the units. Amount to maintain a rented unit. The increase in rent that results in a vacant unit. The program then outputs: The number of units to be rented to maximize the profit The maximum profit Since your program handles currency, make sure to use a data type that can store decimals with a decimal precision of 2.arrow_forward(h) (Extra Credit!)
