#5. You can find 20 RANDOM NUMBERS in a Table or you can generate them with software like Excel. The Excel functions are “RAND” and “RANDBETWEEN”. With “Randbetween” you simply input how many numbers you want, the number of digits you want in your random number and the range of values you want those numbers to fall between. For example you may want twenty, 2-digit numbers that fall between 00 and 100 (like “34”). TWO CONSIDERATIONS: (1) You must systematically...

Call each of the methods to sort (bubble, selection, insertion, quick, merge), passing it the array 4.) In-between the calls, you are going to refresh the array to the original numbers. 5.)

Write a script that will generate seven random integers in the range [-100:200] inclusive and then print the value of each integer and whether it is positive or negative and whether it is even or odd. An output from this program might be: -57 is negative and odd. 26 is positive and even. If zero is one of the random integers generated, remember that zero is even and neither negative or positive. Hint: even numbers are divisible by 2 with...

A random number generator is supposed to produce random numbers that are uniformly distributed on the interval from 0 to 1. If this is true, the numbers generated come from a population with μμ = 0.5 and σσ = 0.2887. A command to generate 169 random numbers gives outcomes with mean x¯¯¯x¯ = 0.4366. Assume that the population σσ remains fixed. We want to test H0:μ=0.5 Ha:μ≠0.5 (a) Calculate the value of the Z test statistic. (b) Use Table C:...
