Write a program that takes 5 input numbers and outputs the mean (average)and standard deviation of the numbers. If the numbers are x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5, then the mean is x + (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5) / 5 Your program must contain the following functions: a function that calculates and returns the mean and a function that calculates the standard deviation
Please submit the following exercises as C++ files.
1. Write a program that takes 5 input numbers and outputs the mean (average)and standard deviation of the numbers. If the numbers are x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5, then the mean is x + (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5) / 5
Your program must contain the following functions: a function that calculates and returns the mean and a function that calculates the standard deviation. (Please note that ^2 indicates the values are squared – the superscript did not work in the Word document)
Note: this is not a difficult assignment. It needs to be broken down into its simplest forms. Consider that a function is designed to do a single activity. Standard deviations are a very common business tool.
Save this problem as <lastname>_std_dev.cpp.
2. During the tax season, every Friday, the J & J tax accounting firm provides assistance to people who prepare their own tax returns. Their charges are as follows:
a. If a person has low income (<= 25,000) and the Consulting time is less than or equal to 30 minutes, there are no charges; otherwise the service charges are 40% of the regular hourly rate for the time over 30 minutes.
b. For others, if the Consulting time is less than or equal to 20 minutes, there are no service charges; otherwise, service charges are 70% of the regular hourly rate for the time over 20 minutes.
(For example, suppose that a person who has low income is spent 1 hour and 15 minutes, and the hourly rate is $70.00. Then the billing amount is $70.00 x 40 x (45/60) = $21.00).
