Question

In Python...

Write a program that randomly assign participants for a study (use the random module).

The program should:

• Display a message stating its goal
• Prompt the user to enter
  • Number of participants in the study (sample size)
  • Minimum age of the participants
  • Maximum age of the participants
• Based on these specifications, randomly assign for each participant:
  • Gender (you can use "1" for Male and "2" for Female)
  • Age
• The program should calculate and display:
  • Total number of male participants and their average age
  • Total number of female participants and their average age

Remember:

• Do not use too advanced functions that is not needed.
• Make sure to include comments that explain all your steps (starts with #).

Answer 1

# Code
import random
print("Program that randomly assign participants for a study (use the random module).")
n = int(input("Enter number of participants in the study: "))
minAge = int(input("Enter minimum age of the participants: "))
maxAge = int(input("Enter maximum age of the participants: "))
gender = []
age = []
for i in range(n):
    gender.append(random.randint(1,2))
    age.append(random.randint(minAge,maxAge))
maleCount = 0
femaleCount = 0
sumMaleAge = 0
sumFemaleAge = 0
for i in range(n):
    if(gender[i]==1):
        maleCount += 1
        sumMaleAge += age[i]
    else:
        femaleCount += 1
        sumFemaleAge += age[i]
print("Total number of male participants =",maleCount)
print("Male participants average age =",(sumMaleAge/maleCount))
print("Total number of female participants =",femaleCount)
print("Female participants average age =",(sumFemaleAge/femaleCount))
