A laborant in a laboratory does a number of antigen tests in one day. Write a program that
simulates the number of antigen tests done in a day in a laboratory, displays the number of
positives and negatives, and calculates the % of positives in one day. Your program needs
to first generate a random number that will show the number of tests done in a day. One
laboratory in a day cannot do more than 100 tests and less than 1 (they do at least one).
Then for each of the tests, your program needs to generate a random number to show
whether they are positive or negative. In order to write this program, you need to have the
following three functions used by the main function:
test result (void): This function generates a test result. It should randomly
return either one or zero. 1 means positive test result and 0 means negative test result.
float positive percentage (int,int) : This function takes the total number of
positives and the total number of tests and returns the % of positives.…

The Nim game. Write a program for a two-player version of the game Nim: a human player will play against the computer. The game is simple: players take turns removing from 1 to 4 sticks from a pile of 13 sticks; the player who picks up the last stick wins the game.
Here’s some pseudocode for the Nim game.
Start by initializing some variables that will allow you to keep track of the state of the game:
One variable should record how many sticks there are left in the pile; initially, this variable must be initialized to 13.
There are two players in the game, who take turns. To remember who’s turn is next, use a variable with two states (= values). Say the variable is 1 if the human player is next, and it is 2, if the computer’s turn is next. Pick randomly the player who should start the game.
Then, start the main loop of the game: the game should continue for as long as there still are sticks (at least one) to pick. In each repetition of the game loop, one player will play…
Transient PopulationPopulations are affected by the birth and death rate, as well as the number of people who move in and out each year. The birth rate is the percentage increase of the population due to births and the death rate is the percentage decrease of the population due to deaths. Write a program that displays the size of a population for any number of years. The program should ask for the following data:
The starting size of a population P
The annual birth rate (as a percentage of the population expressed as a fraction in decimal form)B
The annual death rate (as a percentage of the population expressed as a fraction in decimal form)D
The average annual number of people who have arrived A
The average annual number of people who have moved away M
The number of years to display nYears
Write a function that calculates the size of the population after a year. To calculate the new population after one year, this function should use the formulaN = P + BP - DP + A - Mwhere N is the…

- The body mass index, BMI, is a measure used to determine if a person is overweight or not. We can calculate BMI from the weight of the person (in pounds) and the height (in inches) of the person.The formula for calculating BMI is:BMI = (weightInPounds * 703) divided by (heightInInches squared)In this problem, you will develop a Java program as a BMI calculator, that reads the user’s weight in pounds and height in inches, then calculates and displays the user’s body mass index BMI. Also, display the following information {from the US Department of Health} so the user can evaluate his/her BMI:BMI values:Underweight: less than 18.5Normal: between 18.5 and 24.9Overweight: between 25 and 29.9Obese: 30 or greaterarrow_forwardWrite a program that computes and displays the charges for a patient’s hospital stay. First, the program should ask if the patient was admitted as an in-patient or an out-patient. If the patient was an in-patient the following data should be entered: • The number of days spent in the hospital• The daily rate• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges.If the patient was an out-patient the following data should be entered:• Charges for hospital services (lab tests, etc.)• Hospital medication charges.Use a single, separate function to validate that no input is less than zero. If it is, it should be re-entered before being returned.Once the required data has been input and validated, the program should use two overloaded functions to calculate the total charges. One of the functions should accept arguments for the in-patient data, while the other function accepts arguments for out- patient data. Both functions should return the total charges.arrow_forwardthis is a problem that I have how would I go about solving it? Stadium Seating There are three seating categories for a BC softball game.

- In python, a) In the Hi-Lo game, the player begins with a score of 1000. The player is prompted for the number of points to risk and a second prompt asks the player to choose either High or Low. The player’s choice of either High or Low is compared to a random number between 1 and 13, inclusive. If the number is between 1 and 6 inclusive, then it is considered “low”. A number between 8 and 13 inclusive is “high”. The number 7 is neither high nor low, and the player loses the points at risk. If the player had guessed correctly, the points at risk are doubled and added to the total points. For a wrong choice, the player loses the points at risk. Create a HiLo application based on this specification. Application output should look similar to b) Modify the application to allow the player to continue until there are 0 points left. At the end of the game, display the number of guesses the user took before running out of points.arrow_forwardIn Python A soup company is interested in finding out how much of their soup will go into various sized cans. The user will input the diameter of the can end, and the height of the can. The volume of a cylinder is the well known formula: volume = area of the ends * height of cylinder. The twist is that a can of soup can not be completely filled to the top; only 95% of the volume can be filled with soup; the remaining 5% must remain empty to allow for expansion. NOTE: when computing the area, use pi to at least 5 significant digits (eg, 3.14159) or use the constant math.pi. You should define a function named soup_volume which takes two parameters, the diameter of the can in cm, and the height of the can in cm, in that order. The function should return a float value, which is the volume of soup that the can is able to hold. The function should not round the value, but when printing the value in the main program, format it to show only 2 decimal places.

The instructions to Exercise 34 have been posted below for your convenience. Exercise 34 Suppose that billingAmount is a double variable, which denotes the amount you need to pay to the department store. If you pay the full amount, you get $10.00 or 1% of the billingAmount, whichever is smaller, as a credit on your next bill; If you pay at least 50% of the billingAmount, the penalty is 5% of the balance; If you pay at least 20% of the billingAmount and less than 50% of the billingAmount, the penalty is 10% of the balance; otherwise the penalty is 20% of the balance. Design an algorithm that prompts the user to enter the billing amount and the desired payment. The algorithm then calculates and outputs the credit or the remaining balance. If the amount is not paid in full, the algorithm should also output the penalty amount. Examples of the program are shown below: Enter the billing…arrow_forward

Players take turns, withdrawing either 1, 2 or 3 toothpicks at a time. The player to withdraw the last toothpick loses the game. Write a human vs. computer program that plays "23". The human should always move first. When it is the computer's turn it should play according to the following rules: If there are more than 7 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw a random number of toothpicks (from 1 to 3). Use the rand() function, as demonstrated in class to produce this number.. If there are 2, 3 or 4 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw enough toothpicks to leave 1. If there is 1 toothpick left, then the computer has to take it and loses. When the human player enters the number of toothpicks to withdraw, the program should perform input validation. Make sure that the entered number is between 1 and 3 (inclusive) and that the player is not trying to withdraw more toothpicks…arrow_forward
