Please answer it in C++

(a) Declare a class called Book representing a textbook.     

A textbook has a title (eg. “Programming in C++”)

A textbook has an author (eg. “Helen Johnstone”)

A textbook has a size in number of pages (eg. 550)

A textbook has a price (eg. $135.99).

These attributes should be represented as the data members of the class and be hidden from the outside of the class.

The class should also have a constructor used to initialise the data members of the objects of this class when they are created. The default values for the data members will be set to 0 for all numerical data members and to “unknown” for the string data members.

The class should also have a void member function called show() with no parameters which, when invoked will print the book attributes on a single line, on the screen.

(b) Given the class definition in part a above, write two statements that would create two Book objects b1 and b2, first one with the default characteristics, and the second one with the following characteristics:

2.What is the primary objective of any case-control or cohort study?

3Which study design is most appropriate to study multiple outcomes from a single exposure?

4.A case-control study is most efficient design for studying the health effects of rare exposures.

5.The ecological fallacy states that associations seen on the group level will not necessarily be present on the individual level.

8.Which of the following techniques used in experimental studies can be directly applied in cohort studies (choose all that apply)?

9A study was done to determine whether the amount of money spent on soft drinks was related to mortality from diabetes. The investigators collected data on per capita (average per person) soft drink consumption in ten US states and examined its relationship to mortality rates from diabetes in those ten states. In order to calculate per capita sales they gathered annual data on soft drink sales from commerce records and then divided these figures by the state’s population from the most recent census. The mortality data were gathered from the vital records department in each state. What type of study is this?

10.What sources can be used to identify controls for a case-control study?

11.When is it desirable to use a case-control study (choose all that apply)?

12.What is the purpose of the control group in a case-control study?
