Part One: Write an interactive program to calculate the volume and surface area of a three-dimensional object. Use the following guidelines to write your program:

1. Create a word problem that involves calculating the volume and surface area of a three-dimensional object. Choose one of the following:
   • Cube: surface area 6 s2 , volume s3
   • Sphere: surface area 4πr2 , volume (4.0/3.0) π r3
   • Cylinder: surface area 2π r2 + 2 π r h, volume π r2 h
   • Cone: surface area πr(r+√(h2+r2) ), volume 1.0/3.0 π r2 h
2. Print the description of the word problem for the user to read.
3. Ask the user to enter the information necessary to perform the calculations.
4. Use 3.14 for the value of π as needed.
5. Print the results of each calculation.
6. Write the pseudocode for this program. Be sure to include the needed input, calculations, and output.

Part Two: Code the program. Use the following guidelines to code your program.

1. To code the program, use the Python IDLE.
2. Using comments, type a heading that includes your name, today’s date, and a short description of the program.
3. Follow the Python style conventions regarding indentation and the use of white space in your program.
4. Use meaningful names for all variables.

In a big chain of retail stores annual performance appraisal system is used as a base for determining the
employee’s annual raise. Upper management has the authority to double the increment on an exceptional
performance. One of the problems with the appraisal system is that it is more inclined towards
subjectivity. A new sales manager joined the chain in December 2019 and annual performance appraisal
of two supervisors one from grocery section and one from the toys section was due in April 2020. Due to
lockdown in March 2020 the sales of grocery section were above targets and consequently, the supervisor
from the grocery section got double increment on the recommendation of the manager.
Question: 01 Word limit 200 words
Question 1: Keeping in view, the possible raters’ error in performance appraisal, discuss the specific error
that occurred in this scenario and how it could be handled? Justify your answer with solid arguments.
Question: 02 Word limit 100 words
Question 2: Each supervisor has a team consisting of 10 to 15 sales staff. While assessing “Quality of
work” of team members, supervisors can choose one of the following categories.
 Unsatisfactory
 Marginal
 Satisfactory
 Good
 Outstanding.
Which of the appraisal tool is being used in that retail store and what is its disadvantage?

Consider the data in the file Growth.csvwhich contains data on average growth rates over 1960-1995 for 65 countries, along with variables that are potentially related to growth. A complete description of the data is given in data description which is under the name Growth- Data Description and can be found on Blackboard.

Using this data, carry out the following empirical exercises:

Construct a table that shows the sample mean, std. deviation, minimum and maximum values for the variablesGrowth, Trade-Share, YearsSchool, Oil, Rev_Coups, Assasinations, and RGDP60.

Run a regression of Growthon TradeShare, YearsSchool,Rec_Coups, Assasinations and RGDP60.Show the output of this regression in R (take a screenshot and crop the output summary in your word file that contains your answers).

What is the value on the coefficient on Rev_Coups?Is it statistically significant? Do interpretation on this coefficient.

What is the value of the adjusted R-square? Do these variables explain the majority of country growth?

Use the regression to predict the average annual growth for a country that has average values for all regressors.

Repeat (3) but now assume that the country’s value for TradeShareis one std. deviation above its mean.

Notes: Please submit through email an individual word file with your answers WELL ORGANIZEDalong with your R code (.R file) at the end.

• Design, plan, test, and write a computer program in Java that asks the user to enter 1 number and a String. You will display the first n characters of the string where n is the number entered. For example, if the user enters 3 and java then you will print jav. If they enter 5 and Halloween then you print Hallo. If the user enters a number less than 0 then set the number to 0. Assume the user will not enter a number greater than the length of the string. Display the percentage of the word displayed. For 3 and Java, the percentage is 75%. For 5 and Halloween the percentage is 55.55555555555556%. No if, loops, arrays, classes or methods are needed. You will also need the String class to complete this problem.

Write the Java code for the program, the entire program can be written inside a main method.

Make sure the main method outputs your full name on screen.

Copy your code, with programmer comments, headers and place this into your MS Word document.

Follow Java Naming Conventions

Do not forget about importing java.util.Scanner, and using Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); with input.nextLine(); and input.nextInt();

Update the test table with the actual outputs

Sample Run

Enter a number:

3

Enter a String:

Java

Jav

You printed 75.0% of Java

Please Write-In Python Language (Topic: Word frequencies)

Method/Function: List<Token> tokenize(TextFilePath)
Write a method/function that reads in a text file and returns a list of the tokens in that file. For the purposes of this project, a token is a sequence of alphanumeric characters, independent of capitalization (so Apple, apple, aPpLe are the same token). You are allowed to use regular expressions if you wish to (and you can use some regexp engine, no need to write it from scratch), but you are not allowed to import a tokenizer (e.g. from NLTK), since you are being asked to write a tokenizer.

Method:  Map<Token,Count> computeWordFrequencies(List<Token>)
Write another method/function that counts the number of occurrences of each token in the token list. Remember that you should write this assignment yourself from scratch so you are not allowed to import a counter when the assignment asks you to write that method.

Method: void print(Frequencies<Token, Count>)
Finally, write a method that prints out the word frequency count onto the screen. The print out should be ordered by decreasing frequency (so, the highest frequency words first).

Print the output in this format:

<token> -> <freq>

Please give me some notes about the codes, thanks!!!

Please use Python!

def getText(file):

This function should open the file named file, and return the contents of the file formatted as a single string. During processing, you should (i) remove any blank lines, (ii) remove any lines consisting entirely of CAPITALIZED WORDS , and (iii) replace any explicit ’\n’ (newline) characters with spaces unless directly preceeded by a ’-’ (hyphen), in which case you should simply remove both the hyphen and the newline, restoring the original word.

def getText(file):

pass

def flushMarks(text):

This function should take as input a string such as what might be returned by getText() and return a new string with the following modifications to the input:

Remove possessives, i.e., "’s" at the end of a word;

Remove ’)’, ’(’, ’,’, ’:’, ’-’, ’_’, ’...’, ’"’ and "’"; and Replace ’!’, ’?’ and ’;’ with ’.’

A condition of this function is that it should be easy to change or extend the substitutions made. In other words, a function that steps through each of these substitutions in an open-coded fashion will not get full credit; write your function so that the substitutions can be modified or extended without having to significantly alter the code. Here’s a hint: if your code for this function is more than a few lines long, you’re probably not doing it right.

# Specification: takes a string, text, and removes possessives ('s)

# and most punctuation ('(),:\'"- —_').

def flushMarks(text):

pass
