In the following exercises, write a
Equivalent Interest Rates Interest earned on municipal bonds from an investor's home state is not taxed, whereas interest earned on CDs is taxed. Therefore, in order for a CD to earn as much as a municipal bond, the CD must pay a higher interest rate. How much higher the interest rate must be depends on the investor's tax bracket. Write a program that allows the user to enter a tax bracket and a municipal bond interest rate and then finds the CD interest rate with the same yield. See Fig. 3.40. Note: If the tax bracket is expressed as a decimal,

- (Program) Write a program to simulate the rolling of two dice. If the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win; otherwise, you lose. Embellish this program as much as you like with betting, different odds, different combinations for win or lose, stopping play when you have no money left or reach the house limit, displaying the dice, and so forth. (Hint: Calculate the dots showing on each die with theexpressiondots=(int)(6.0randomnumber+1), where random number is between 0 and 1.)arrow_forward(Statistics) This is the formula for the standard normal deviate, z, used in statistical applications: z=(X)/ X is a single value. refers to an average value. refers to a standard deviation. Using this formula, you need to write a program that calculates and displays the value of the standard normal deviate when X=85.3,=80,and=4. a. For this programming problem, how many outputs are required? b. How many inputs does this problem have? c. Determine a formula for converting input items into output items. d. Test the formula written for Exercise 7c, using the data given in the problem.arrow_forward(Simulation) Write a program to simulate the roll of two dice.

- (Modify) a. Modify the program you wrote for Exercise 7 to provide the mass of a person as an output, given his or her weight as an input to the program. Use your program to determine the mass of a person who weighs 140 lbf on Earth. b. Modify the program written for Exercise 7a to also output the person’s weight on Mars and the moon. The pull of gravity on Mars is 12.54ft/sec2=3.728m/s2,andonthemoonis5.33ft/sec2=1.625m/s2.arrow_forwardin pythonarrow_forwardScenario As you surely know, due to some astronomical reasons, years may be leap or common. The former are 366 days long, while the latter are 365 days long. Since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (in 1582), the following rule is used to determine the kind of year: if the year number isn't divisible by four, it's a common year, otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 100, it's a leap year. otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 400, it's a common year. otherwise, it's a leap year. none of the above year int(input("enter the year")) if (year%4 1-0) and (year%400 -0) or (year % 1000): print (year is common year") else: print(year, is leap year") year= int(input ("enter the year")) if (years !-0) or (year480 1-0) and (year % 1001-0): print(year is common year") else: print(year, "is leap year") D year= int(input("enter the year"))arrow_forward
- Note: write a Jave Progame below Question2: Suppose a retail business sells an item that is regularly priced at $98 and is planning to have a sale where the item s price will he reduced by 25 percent. You have been asked to write a program to calculate the sale price of the item. To determine the sale price you perform two calculations: you get the amount of the discount, which is 25 percent of the item's regular price. you subtract the discount amount from the item's regular price. This gives you the sale price.arrow_forwardBob is playing a game. He and his team have come up with a plan to throw a ball so that it can hit the target object. The target is at a distance of X meters from Bob. He is at a height of Y meters from the ground and the target is at a height of Z meters from the ground. Bob can throw the ball with a certain speed Task Determine the speed that he should throw the ball. Notes He is aiming at an angle parallel to the ground. Assume acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s² Example Assumptions • X = 2 • Y=5 • Z=2 Approach It can be calculated that he needs to fire at speeds 2.58m/s at an angle parallel to the ground respectively. The answers are taken up to 2 decimal places only. Hence, the answer is 2.58 m/s. Function description Complete the solve function provided in the editor. This function takes the following 3 parameters and returns the minimum speed required: • X Represents an integer denoting the distance of the target from Bob • Y Represents an integer denoting the height of Bob…arrow_forwardWrite an algorithm, output, input and design a programarrow_forward
- MATLAB The Mach number is a critical quantity in aerodynamics. It is the ratio of the speed of an object (e.g., an aircraft) to the speed of sound. If the Mach number is less than 1, the flow is subsonic; if the Mach number is between (0.8-1.2), the flow is transonic; if the Mach number is equal to 1, the flow is sonic; if the Mach number is between (1.2 and 5), the flow is supersonic; if the Mach number is greater than 5, the flow is hypersonic. Write a script that will prompt the user for the speed of an aircraft and the speed of sound at the aircraft's current altitude and will print whether the condition is subsonic, transonic, sonic, supersonic or hypersonic.arrow_forwardExercise 6: Write a program that reads from the user three pieces of information: The current population of a country, the annual birth rate of the country, and its annual death rate. The program should then calculate the expected population for the following year and display the results as shown in Figure 6. Please note that population for the following year is calculated as sum of the current population, and the number of births by the end of the year minus the number of deaths by the end of the same year. Name your program Lab3_Id_ex6.py, where Id is your university Id. Include the design of your solution as comments at the beginning of your program. Test your solution with different input data. Please enter the current population of the country: 1800000 Please enter the birth rate: 0.017 Please enter the death rate: 0.005 Current Population Number of Number of Deaths Next Year Births Population 1800000 30600 9000 1821600 Figure 6: Sample Runarrow_forwardPlease help in guiding me in the necessary steps i should take when tackling this assignment, there is a main.cpp given Objective: The main objective of this assignment is to assess students’ ability to apply the stepwise refinement process to develop a new algorithm and carry that through to the implementation of the program. Implementation must follow the top-down design approach, where the solution starts by describing the general functionality of a game. Next, more details are provided in successive steps to refine the implementation. Problem Description: Assume you are hired by a game developing company to write a new computer game for kids. This company has decided to create a version of tricky triangles with a few different rules hoping that this new game will be more entertaining. If you are unfamiliar with the original game of tricky triangle, please learn how to play. This modified version of tricky triangles that you required to create is very much like the original game.…arrow_forward
