Write a MATLAB function named average_of_scores_with_drops The function will have two inputs and two return values. The first in

put will be a list of scores. The second input will be a postive integer representing the number of scores to drop. It will not be larger than the length of the list. Your function should determine the average of the scores after dropping the specified number of lowest scores. The first return value must be a real number equal to the average score. The second return value must be the number of items that were averaged. Notes: Example Test Case: SCORES

Answer:

-%Define the function.

function [avg, ele_left] = average_of_scores_with_drops(input_list, drop_element)

%Sort the list.

input_list = sort(input_list);

%Compute the length of the list.

len_list = length(input_list);

%Declare and initialize the variable.

sum = 0;

%Increase the element to be drop by 1.

i = drop_element + 1;

%begin the for loop.

for k = i : length(input_list)

%Add the elements.

sum = sum + input_list(k);

%End of the for loop.  

end

%Compute the elements left after dropping the dropped element.

ele_left = length(input_list) - drop_element;

%Compute the average of the elements left.

avg = sum/ele_left;

%End of the function defined.

end

%Run the following code in the command prompt.

%Call the function and return the average

%score and the number of elements

%whose average is computed.

[average_score , number_of_items] = average_of_scores_with_drops([8 6 1 2 3 5 10], 2)

SAMPLE OF OUTPUT

average_score = 6.40000000000000

number_of_items = 5

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

<h2>Function 1:</h2>

#include <stdio.h> //for using input output functions

// start of the function PrintPopcornTime body having integer variable //bagOunces as parameter

void PrintPopcornTime(int bagOunces){

if (bagOunces < 3){ //if value of bagOunces is less than 3

 printf("Too small"); //displays Too small message in output

 printf("\n"); } //prints a new line

//the following else if part will execute when the above IF condition evaluates to //false and the value of bagOunces is greater than 10

else if (bagOunces > 10){

    printf("Too large"); //displays the message:  Too large in output

    printf("\n"); //prints a new line }

/*the following else  part will execute when the above If and else if conditions evaluate to false and the value of bagOunces is neither less than 3 nor greater than 10 */

else {

/* The following three commented statements can be used to store the value of bagOunces * 6 into result variable and then print statement to print the value of result. The other option is to use one print statement printf("%d",bagOunces * 6) instead */

    //int result;

    //result = bagOunces * 6;

    //printf("%d",result);

 printf("%d",bagOunces * 6);  /multiplies value of bagOunces  to 6

 printf(" seconds");

// seconds is followed with the value of bagOunces * 6

 printf("\n"); }} //prints a new line

int main(){ //start of main() function body

int userOunces; //declares integer variable userOunces

scanf("%d", &userOunces); //reads input value of userOunces

PrintPopcornTime(userOunces);

//calls PrintPopcornTime function passing the value in userOunces

return 0; }

Explanation:

<h2>Function 2:  </h2>

#include <stdio.h> //header file to use input output functions

// start of the function PrintShampooInstructions body having integer variable numCycles as parameter

void PrintShampooInstructions(int numCycles){

if(numCycles < 1){

//if conditions checks value of numCycles is less than 1 or not

printf("Too few."); //prints Too few in output if the above condition is true

printf("\n"); } //prints a new line

//else if part is executed when the if condition is false and else if  checks //value of numCycles is greater than 4 or not

else if(numCycles > 4){

//prints Too many in output if the above condition is true

printf("Too many.");

printf("\n"); } //prints a new line

//else part is executed when the if and else if conditions are false

else{

//prints "N: Lather and rinse." numCycles times, where N is the cycle //number, followed by Done

for(int N = 1; N <= numCycles; N++){

printf("%d",N);

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n");}

printf("Done.");

printf("\n");} }

int main() //start of the main() function body

{    int userCycles; //declares integer variable userCycles

   scanf("%d", &userCycles); //reads the input value into userCycles

   PrintShampooInstructions(userCycles);

//calls PrintShampooInstructions function passing the value in userCycles

   return 0;}

I will explain the for loop used in PrintShampooInstructions() function. The loop has a variableN  which is initialized to 1. The loop checks if the value of N is less than or equal to the value of numCycles. Lets say the value of numCycles = 2. So the condition evaluates to true as N<numCycles  which means 1<2. So the program control enters the body of loop. The loop body has following statements. printf("%d",N); prints the value of N followed by

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n"); which is followed by printf("Done.");

So at first iteration:

printf("%d",N); prints 1 as the value of N is 1

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n");  prints : Lather and rinse and prints a new line \n.

As a whole this line is printed on the screen:

1: Lather and rinse.

Then the value of N is incremented by 1. So N becomes 2 i.e. N = 2.

Now at second iteration:

The loop checks if the value of N is less than or equal to the value of numCycles. We know that the value of numCycles = 2. So the condition evaluates to true as N<numCycles  which means 2=2. So the program control enters the body of loop.

printf("Done."); prints Done after the above two lines.

printf("%d",N); prints 2 as the value of N is 2

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n");  prints : Lather and rinse and prints a new line \n.

As a whole this line is printed on the screen:

2: Lather and rinse.

Then the value of N is incremented by 1. So N becomes 2 i.e. N = 3.

The loop again checks if the value of N is less than or equal to the value of numCycles. We know that the value of numCycles = 2. So the condition evaluates to false as N<numCycles  which means 3>2. So the loop breaks.

Now the next statement is:

printf("Done."); which prints Done on the screen.

So as a whole the following output is displayed on the screen:

1: Lather and rinse.

2: Lather and rinse.

Done.

The programs along with their outputs are attached.

yarga [219]
If the algorithm is changed for the operations at layer k, the services at k1 will change since the services will be operated after the layer. For the services at k-1, they will not be affected since they are prior to the algorithms.<span />

Which statements describe the advantages of using XML?
lutik1710 [3]
I think the correct answer would be that it facilitates the transport of data. It is a very useful tool in the transport and storage of data. XML, also, uses human language rather than computer language so it can be used easily by new users.
