Chapter 6, Problem 3P

a. Compute the median of a data file. The median is the number that has the same number of data elements greater than the number as there are less than the number. For purposes of this problem, you are to assume that the data is sorted (that is, is in increasing order). The median is the middle element of the file if there are an odd number of elements, or the average of the two middle elements if the file has an even number of elements. You will need to open the file, count the elements, close the file and calculate the location of the middle of the file, open the file again (recall the “start over” discussion in this chapter), count up to the file entries you need, and calculate the middle.

If your instructor has assigned this problem, ask for a data file to test your program with. Otherwise, construct several files on your own, including one with an even number of data points, increasing, and one with an odd number, also increasing.

b. For a sorted file, a quartile is one of three numbers: The first has one-fourth the data values less than or equal to it, one-fourth the data values between the first and second numbers, one-fourth the data points between the second and the third, and one-fourth above the third quartile. Find the three quartiles for the data file you used for part (a).

(Hint: You should recognize that having done part (a) you have one third of your job done—you have the second quartile already. You also should recognize that you have done almost all the work toward finding the other two quartiles as well.)

Methods (Ch6) - Review 1. (The MyRoot method) Below is a manual implementation of the Math.sqrt() method in Java. There are two methods, method #1 which calculates the square root for positive integers, and method #2, which calculates the square root of positive doubles (also works for integers). public class SquareRoot { public static void main(String[] args) { } // implement a loop of your choice here // Method that calculates the square root of integer variables public static double myRoot(int number) { double root; root=number/2; double root old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; } while (Math.abs(root_old-root)>1.8E-6); return root; } // Method that calculates the square root of double variables public static double myRoot(double number) { double root; root number/2; double root_old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; while (Math.abs (root_old-root)>1.0E-6); return root; } } Program-it-Yourself: In the main method, create a program that…
