A6 – Shipping Calculator
Assignment
Introduction
In this part, you will solve a problem described in English. Although you may discuss ideas with your classmates, etc., everyone must write and submit their own version of the program. Do NOT use anyone else’s code, as this will result in a zero for you and the other person!
Shipping Calculator
Speedy Shipping Company will ship your package based on the weight and how far you are sending the package, which can be anywhere in the world. They will only ship small packages up to 10 pounds. You need to have a program, which will help you determine how much they will charge.
The charges are based on each 500 miles shipped. The mileage should be in whole numbers. They are not prorated, i.e., 600 miles is the same charge as 900 miles; in other words, 600 and 900 miles is counted as 2 segments of 500 miles each.
Here is the table they gave you:
|
Package Weight Rate per 500 miles shipped |
Charge |
|
2 pounds or less |
$1.50 |
|
More than 2 but not more than 6 |
$3.70 |
|
More than 6 but not more than 10 |
$5.25 |
Your code needs to validate the input completely, e.g., the weight and mile amounts must be positive. If an input is invalid, e.g., the weight is zero or less, you should display an appropriate, professional error message, e.g., Error: Weight must be greater than zero!, which should be offset and surrounded by white space, so it stands out, and repeat getting that input until valid input is received. Keep in mind, the user will find it annoying if they must enter both the miles and weight at the same time, and only one of them caused an error, or they must reenter already valid data. Also, make sure you follow the Code Conventions and good programming practices, e.g., appropriately initialize variables to zeros, avoid stacked if or if-else constructs unless necessary, don’t use break or continue to get out of a loop, goto, etc.; in other words, you should NOT use stacked if/if-else constructs, break, or continue for this assignment.
At this point for the code, you should only solve the problem using what you learned from modules 1 – 6, i.e., NO arrays, functions other than main(), etc. Only if all the input is valid, should the program calculate and display one shipping charge, and pause, but not quit, before proceeding to a new customer. Your test cases should test the various possibilities, and the limits of the program, which means, you will need to use an appropriate loop, which will ask if you would like to process the next customer or not by asking them to enter an appropriate value. Once there are no more customers to process, the program should display Good-bye! and end. Remember to solve each aspect of the program separately, and then, put the parts together.
Hints: You may need to reset any values after you display the answer and before you get the input for the next customer. Big Helpful Hint: For the number of segments calculation, you may want to start with integer division, e.g., 1200 miles / 500 miles per segment = 2 segments, and then, expand on that.
You should be able to solve this problem with only one loop.

Project Description The BlueMont chain hotels have 4 different types of room: Single room: $60/night Double room: $75/night King room: $100/night Suite room: $150/night The size of the hotel chains in different locations may be different in terms of the number of floors and the type and the number of rooms on each floor. You are required to write a program that calculates the occupancy rate and the total hotel income for one night and displays this information as well as some other information described below. The program starts by asking the location where this hotel chain is located and the number of floors in the hotel. The number of floors may not exceed 5. The User then enters the total number of rooms for each floor. The program then asks specifically the number of occupied rooms for each room type on this floor. The total number of rooms on each floor may not exceed 30 and the program should check that the total number of occupied rooms on each floor does not exceed the total of rooms on that floor. After the information is entered for each floor, the program calculates the following: - Hotel income (based on the room type and its rate), - The total number of occupied rooms, - Total number of the uncopied rooms, - The rate of occupancy, - Floor number with the minimum number of rooms. (Assume no two floors have the same number of rooms). - A message to improve the occupancy rate for the occupancy rate of less than 60%. - Programmer’s full name - Project number - Project due date Project Specifications -Use constant variables to hold room rates, max and min # of floors and rooms. -The program should continuously ask for the correct floor number if it is not within the range of 1 and 5. -The program should continuously ask for the correct number of rooms for each floor if it is not within the range of 1 and 30. -The program should repeat the process of asking the number of rooms on the floor and number of occupied rooms if the total number of occupied rooms exceeds the total number of rooms on the floor. Refer to Sample outputs for more clarification.

Many hotels have begun a conservation program that encourages guests to re-use towels rather than have them washed on a daily basis. A recent study examined whether one method of encouragement might work better than another. Different signs explaining the conservation program were placed in the bathrooms of the hotel rooms, with random assignment determining which rooms received which sign. One sign mentioned the importance of environmental protection, whereas another sign claimed that 75% of the hotel’s guests choose to participate in the program. The researchers suspected that the latter sign, by appealing to a social norm, would produce a higher proportion of hotel guests who agree to re-use their towels. Researchers used the hotel staff (a mid-sized, mid-priced hotel in the Southwest that was part of a well-known national hotel chain) to record whether guests staying for multiple nights agreed to reuse their towel after the first night.
(a) Identify the observational units, explanatory variable, and response variable in this study.
(b) State the null and alternative hypotheses in symbols, and be sure to define the parameter in the context of this study.
The following table displays the observed data in this study:
| Social Norm | Environmental protection | Total | |
| Guest opted to re-use towels | 98 | 74 | 172 |
| Guest did not opt to re-use towels | 124 | 137 | 261 |
| Total | 222 | 211 | 433 |
(c) Calculate the conditional proportions of re-use in each group.
(e) Use a two-sample z-test to test the hypotheses that you stated in (a). Report the test statistic and p-
value.
(f) Report your test decision at the α = 0.10, 0.05, and 0.01 significance levels. Also summarize what
these test decisions reveal about the strength of evidence for the researchers’ conjecture.
(g) Produce and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in probabilities of re-using towels
between these two signs.

Andy wants Ben to build Andy a pool, a tennis court, and a basketball court for Andy's employer which is a small hotel. Ben tells Andy that he can do the pool for $ 10,000, a tennis court for $ 7,000, and a basketball court for $ 3,000 if this is done individually. Andy must have the pool for no more than $ 12,000. He would like the basketball court this year or next. He would like the tennis court for no more than $ 8,000. His entire budget for this year for any of these things is no more than $ 17,000 but he would really prefer $ 15,000. Andy must decide this within 10 days or lose his job.
