Chapter 1, Problem 1.12MD
(Test-Drive: Body Mass Index Calculator) Obesity causes significant increases in illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease To determine whether a person is overweight or obese, you can use a measure called the body mass index (BMI). The United States Department of Health and Human Services provides a BMI calculator at http://www.nh1bi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm. Use it to calculate your own BMI. An exercise in Exercise 2.32 will ask you to

BMI Metric Lab
Body mass index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the BMI is a fairlyreliable indicator of body fatness for most people. BMI does not measure body fatdirectly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The formula for BMI is Weight/Height2
Where weight is in kilograms and height is in meters.
Write a program that prompts for metric weight and height and outputs the BMI.
For example, an execution could look like this:Please enter weight in kilograms: 50Please enter height in meters: 1.58BMI is: 20.0288415318

- (Transportation) Road construction requires estimating the expected loads on a road’s pavement over its design life. A common approach for determining this information is to use ESAL values; one ESAL is the load a single 18,000-lb (80,000 N) single-axle truck applies to the road’s surface. The ESAL value for any single-axle vehicle can be approximated by this formula: ESAL=[W18,000]4 ESAL is the equivalent single-axle load. W is the vehicle’s weight (lbs). Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines ESAL values and use it to complete the following chart. The ESAL values should be output in a field width of 10, with six digits after the decimal point.arrow_forwardComputer science: When working with what sorts of data should one avoid using the arithmetic mean?arrow_forwardCreate a Rock-Scissors-Paper Game.The players can set the score needed to win the game.( C Language)arrow_forward
- Pearson Institute of Higher Education EnrolmentAt the Pearson Institute of Higher Education, the degrees offered have a number of years in which a student is expected to complete the degree. On average, the number of years for a degree is 4. If thestudent takes more than 6 years to complete the degree, they are at risk to be expelled from the institution or asked to repeat the degree altogether. Pearson management has contacted you to write a program to be used to check which students are behind their expected time of degree completion. You have been provided with a text file containing a list of all the students enrolled at the institution with the number of years they have been enrolled.

The minimum radius required for a cylindrical rod, such as one supporting a bicycle pedal (see Figure 2.22), to provide enough support for the pressure exerted by the rider’s foot yet not exceed the stress placed on the crank arm’s sprocket attachment, is given by this formula: r3=dPS r is the radius of the cylindrical rod in inches. d is the length of the crank arm in inches. P is the weight placed on the pedal in lbs. S is the stress in lbs/in2. Using this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program that computes the value of r for a crank arm that’s 7 inches long, accommodates a maximum weight of 300 lbs, and is able to sustain a stress of 10,000 lbs/in2.arrow_forward
- PROBABILITY & STATISTICS An examination consists of multiple-choice questions, each having five possible answers. Suppose you are a student taking the exam. and that you reckon you have probability 0.75 of knowing the answer to any question that may be asked and that, if you do not know, you intend to guess an answer with probability 1/5 of being correct. What is the probability you will give the correct answer to a question?arrow_forwardAssignment: [NEW YORK] Inoculation with live attenuated vaccines (LAV) such as those used against TB, polio or measles can stimulate the immune system to provide protection against other infectious diseases, including COVID-19, says a new study. People who have been inoculated with one or more LAVs but have no access to the new, specific vaccines against COVID-19 — typically because they are expensive or in short supply — may have some protection during the current pandemic, according to the study. LAVs use a weakened (or attenuated) form of the pathogen or germ that causes a disease. These vaccines are similar to the natural infection they help prevent, and create a strong and long-lasting immune response, often over a lifetime, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). According to the authors of the study published in PNAS, older live attenuated vaccines could also afford protection from other emerging viruses. Attenuated viruses or other pathogens will grow in a vaccinated…arrow_forwardExactly what does it imply when someone "races the data?"arrow_forward
