An airline wants to select a computer software package for its reservation system. Four software packages (1, 2, 3, and 4) are commercially available. The airline will choose the package that bumps as few passengers, on the average, as possible during a month. An experiment is set up in which each package is used to make reservations for 5 randomly selected weeks. (A total of 20 weeks was included in the experiment.) The number of passengers bumped each week is given below. Please use the appropriate test to see if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average numbers of customers bumped by the 4 packages are not all the same. (14 points, without test procedure and excel output, you will get zero point). Level of significance is assumed to be 0.01.
Package 1:​ 12, 14, 9, 11, 16
Package 2: ​ 2, 4, 7, 3, 1
Package 3:​ 10, 9, 6, 10, 12
Package 4:​ 7, 6, 6, 15, 12

Use Python to solve: show all code:

2) For the last assignment you had to write a program that calculated and displayed the end of year balances in a savings account if $1,000 is put in the account at 6% interest for five years.

The program output looked like this:

Balance after year 1 is $ 1060.0

Balance after year 2 is $ 1123.6

Balance after year 3 is $ 1191.02

Balance after year 4 is $ 1262.48

Balance after year 5 is $ 1338.23

Modify your code so that it displays the balances for interest rates from three to five percent inclusive, in one percent intervals. (Hint: Use an outer loop that iterates on the interest rate, and an inner one that iterates on the year.)

Output:

Interest rate of 3 %:

Balance after year 1 is $ 1030.0

Balance after year 2 is $ 1060.9

Balance after year 3 is $ 1092.73

Balance after year 4 is $ 1125.51

Balance after year 5 is $ 1159.27

Interest rate of 4 %:

Balance after year 1 is $ 1040.0

Balance after year 2 is $ 1081.6

Balance after year 3 is $ 1124.86

Balance after year 4 is $ 1169.86

Balance after year 5 is $ 1216.65

Interest rate of 5 %:

Balance after year 1 is $ 1050.0

Balance after year 2 is $ 1102.5

Balance after year 3 is $ 1157.62

Balance after year 4 is $ 1215.51

Balance after year 5 is $ 1276.28

Researchers gave a family planning survey was given to the head(s) of household in a local community. In particular, one question asked the head(s) of households to indicate if they think the community has a great need, some need, or no need of family planning counseling. In addition, they were asked to indicate how many children are in the household. Researchers want to know if the number of children in the household is impacted by family planning counseling. What can they conclude with α = 0.01?

How would I complete this program using three files, which are a "SoccerPlayer.h" file, a "SoccerPlayer.cpp" file, and a "main.cpp" file. C++ Please!

This program will store roster and rating information for a soccer team. Coaches rate players during tryouts to ensure a balanced team.

(1) Prompt the user to input five pairs of numbers: A player's jersey number (0 - 99) and the player's rating (1 - 9). Store the jersey numbers in one int vector and the ratings in another int vector. Output these vectors (i.e., output the roster). (3 pts)

Ex:

Enter player 1's jersey number:
84
Enter player 1's rating:
7

Enter player 2's jersey number:
23
Enter player 2's rating:
4

Enter player 3's jersey number:
4
Enter player 3's rating:
5

Enter player 4's jersey number:
30
Enter player 4's rating:
2

Enter player 5's jersey number:
66
Enter player 5's rating:
9

ROSTER
Player 1 -- Jersey number: 84, Rating: 7
Player 2 -- Jersey number: 23, Rating: 4
...

(2) Implement a menu of options for a user to modify the roster. Each option is represented by a single character. The program initially outputs the menu, and outputs the menu after a user chooses an option. The program ends when the user chooses the option to Quit. For this step, the other options do nothing. (2 pts)

Ex:

MENU
a - Add player
d - Remove player
u - Update player rating
r - Output players above a rating
o - Output roster
q - Quit

Choose an option:

(3) Implement the "Output roster" menu option. (1 pt)

Ex:

ROSTER
Player 1 -- Jersey number: 84, Rating: 7
Player 2 -- Jersey number: 23, Rating: 4
...

(4) Implement the "Add player" menu option. Prompt the user for a new player's jersey number and rating. Append the values to the two vectors. (1 pt)

Ex:

Enter a new player's jersey number:
49
Enter the player's rating:
8

(5) Implement the "Delete player" menu option. Prompt the user for a player's jersey number. Remove the player from the roster (delete the jersey number and rating). (2 pts)

Ex:

Enter a jersey number:
4

(6) Implement the "Update player rating" menu option. Prompt the user for a player's jersey number. Prompt again for a new rating for the player, and then change that player's rating. (1 pt)

Ex:

Enter a jersey number:
23
Enter a new rating for player:
6

(7) Implement the "Output players above a rating" menu option. Prompt the user for a rating. Print the jersey number and rating for all players with ratings above the entered value. (2 pts)

Ex:

Enter a rating:
5

ABOVE 5
Player 1 -- Jersey number: 84, Rating: 7
