Question

Task #4 Calculating the Mean

1. Now we need to add lines to allow us to read from the input file and calculate the mean.
   1. Create a FileReader object passing it the filename.
   2. Create a BufferedReader object passing it the FileReader object.
2. Write a priming read to read the first line of the file.
3. Write a loop that continues until you are at the end of the file.
4. The body of the loop will:
   1. convert the line into a double value and add the value to the accumulator
   2. increment the counter
   3. read a new line from the file
5. When the program exits the loop close the input file.
6. Calculate and store the mean. The mean is calculated by dividing the accumulator by the counter.
7. Compile, debug, and run. You should now get a mean of 77.444, but the standard deviation will still be 0.000.

Task #5 Calculating the Standard Deviation

1. We need to reconnect to the file so we can start reading from the top again.
   1. Create a FileReader object passing it the filename.
   2. Create a BufferedReader object passing it the FileReader object.
2. Reinitialize the sum and count to 0.
3. Write a priming read to read the first line of the file.
4. Write a loop that continues until you are at the end of the file.
5. The body of the loop will:
   1. convert the line into a double value and subtract the mean, store the result in difference
   2. add the square of the difference to the accumulator
   3. increment the counter
   4. read a newline from the file.
6. When the program exits the loop close the input file.
7. The variance is calculated by dividing the accumulator (sum of the squares of the difference) by the counter. Calculate the standard deviation by taking the square root of the variance (Use the Math.sqrt method to take the square root).
8. Compile, debug, and run. You should get a mean of 77.444 and standard deviation of 10.021.

}

Please be careful while writing the filename. It should be full file name. For eg - sample.txt

Also if you are entering only the filename without the path then the file should be in the same project ( and not the same package ) as the StatsDemo.java class. The file Results.txt will also be generated in the same project folder.
