Textbook Question

Chapter 6, Problem 4P

Write a program that takes its input from a file of numbers of type double. The program outputs to the screen the average and standard deviation of the numbers in the file. The file contains nothing but numbers of type double separated by blanks and/or line breaks. The standard deviation of a list of numbers n₁, n₂, n₃, and so forth is defined as the square root of the average of the following numbers:

(n₁ – a)², (n₂ – a)², (n₃ – a)² and so forth

The number a is the average of the numbers n₁ n₂, n₃, and so forth. If this is being done as a class assignment, obtain the file name from your instructor. (Hint: Write your program so that it first reads the entire file and computes the average of all the numbers, and then doses the file, then reopens the file and computes the standard deviation.)

Include the donor ID, first name, last name, and number of pledges. 5. Display all pledges made before March 8, 2012. Include all column data from the DD PLEDGE table.

Write a FancyCar class to support basic operations such as drive, add gas, honk horn, and start engine. FancyCar.java is provided with method stubs. Follow each step to gradually complete all methods. Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. The main() method includes basic method calls. Add statements in main() as methods are completed to support development mode testing. Step 0. Declare private fields for miles driven as shown on the odometer (int), gallons of gas in tank (double), miles per gallon or MPG (double), driving capacity (double), and car model (String). Note the provided final variable indicates the gas tank capacity of 14.0 gallons. Step 1 (2 pts). 1) Complete the default constructor by initializing the odometer to five miles, tank is full of gas, miles per gallon is 24.0, and the model is "Old Clunker". 2)…
