- Context: Measuring Air Quality Levels of various air borne pollutants such as Nitrogen Monoxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (also called particle pollution) are all major contributors to the measure of overall air quality. For instance, NO2 is measured using micrograms in each cubic metre of air (㎍/m3). A microgram (㎍) is one millionth of a gram. A concentration of 1 ㎍/m3 means that one cubic metre of air contains one microgram of pollutant. To protect our health, the UK Government sets two air quality objectives for NO2 in their Air Quality Strategy The hourly objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of one hour. The annual objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of a year. The following table shows the colour encoding and the levels for Objective 1 above, the mean hourly ratio, adopted in the UK.

This type of loan has the following characteristics. Supposing a loan has face value of GHC 1000, interest is 10% and the duration is 24 months. The interest is compounded by multiplying the face value by 0.12 to produce GHC 120. The figure (120) is then multiplied by the loan period of 2 years to give GHC 240 as the total interest owed. This amount is immediately deducted from the face value leaving the customer with only GHC 760. Repayment is then made in monthly equal installments based on the face value. This means that the monthly payment will be GHC 1000 divided by 24 which is approximately 41.67. This 4method of calculating the monthly repayment is not too bad if the consumer needs only GHC 760 but the calculation is a bit complicated if the consumer needs GHC 1000. a.

- In the US Higher Education sector, a degree is classified using a Grade Point Average (GPA). The grades ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ or ‘F’ are called academic grades. Each ‘A’ is worth 4 points, each ‘B’ is worth 3 points, each ‘C’ is worth 2 points, each ‘D’ is worth 1 point and each ‘F’ is worth 0 points. The GPA is found by calculating the number of points and then dividing by the number of academic grades. A student may also have a non-academic grade of ‘W’ (for withdrew) which is not counted at all in the calculation. You can assume that the student will have at least one academic grade in their list of grades. There are many ways of calculating a GPA from a list of grades, but you must follow the algorithm given by this top-level decomposition: > Find GPA. >> Input a list of academic and non-academic grades. >> Create a new list that consists of the number of points for each academic grade in the input list. >> Add up the values in the new list and divide by the…arrow_forwardThe United States federal personal income tax is calculated based on filing status and taxable income. There are four filing statuses: single filers, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and head of household. The tax rates vary every year. Table 4.2 shows the rates for 2009. If you are, say, single with a taxable income of $10,000, the first $8,350 is taxed at 10% and the other $1,650 is taxed at 15%. So, your tax is $1,082.50.

Commission rates vary depending on how many units you sold (see chart below). Your income equals to the total sales plus the commission where the commission equals to total sales times the commission rate. That is, commission = total sales * commission rate and income = total sales + commission. Total Sales Commission rate % Less than 200 sold 8% Greater or equal to 200 sold 10% Greater than to 400 sold 12% 1. Provide the user the commission rate list above. 2. After displaying the list, prompt the user to input the total sales. 3. Display the total income. Input: The input to your program will be from the keyboard (using Scanner). Output: The output of your program should be to the screen and include the correct answers. Run: Run it three times to be sure all possible values of the if logic works correctly.arrow_forward

It involves counting the total number of cells present including those actively dividing or those in interphase, the total number of cells that are actively dividing (not including interphase), and then calculating what percentage of the total cells are actively dividing (the percentage undergoing mitosis). The formula is: Mitotic index= # of cells in mitosis / # of cells in total x 100% Use this formula to calculate the mitotic index for the diagram seen in Question 5. Show your calculations (you can use * for multiplication and / for division if you prefer) and indicate your final answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage (1 decimal place). Note: The mitotic index seen in this simulation is much higher than you would see in a real tissue sample. The sample was simulated this way so that the counting and calculations would be easier…arrow_forwardWhen you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forward
- A fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…arrow_forwarddraw an algoritm to calculate the current balance in a savings accountarrow_forwardSection: FactThyroid function is measured using a factor called TSH, which stands for thyroid-stimulatinghormone. A TSH test is a blood test that measures this hormone. TSH normal values are 0.5 to 5.0mIU/L. If TSH is over 5.0 thyroid is underactive. On the other hand, if TSH is less than 0.5 thyroid isoveractive.arrow_forward
