WITHOUT USING POINTERS. This is C programming. I am writing a program which should calculate standard deviation of an array of exam scores and then add the standard deviation to each array element. It should print the original array, the standard deviation, and the new rounded adjusted array. I included my question as a comment in the line of code that is giving me an issue. (Removing the a from E-x-a-m as Chegg doesn't allow the word.)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

float calcstddev(float exmgrades[], int size)
{
   float sum =0.0;
   float mean;
   int temp;
   float variance;
   float stddev;
   float difference;


   for (temp=0;temp<size;++temp)
   {
       sum+=exmgrades[temp];
   }
   mean = sum/size;
   for (temp=0;temp<size;++temp)
   {
   stddev+=pow(exmgrades[temp]-mean,2);
   }
   stddev/=size;
   stddev=sqrt(stddev);
   return stddev;
}

float adjustscores(float exmgrades[],int size)
{
   float stddev=calcstddev(exmgrades,7);
   int temp=0;
   float adjustedscores[size];
  
   for(temp=0;temp<size;++temp)
   {
       adjustedscores[temp]+=exmgrades[temp]+stddev;
   }
   return adjustedscores; //////HERE is the line that gives me an error. It states:[Error] incompatible types when returning type 'float *' but 'float' was expected.    If I remove this line, my output for the adjusted array elements is .0f, so the data isn't passed to main. What should I do here? ///////////////////
}

int main()
{
   float exmgrades[]={90,95,90,82,80,87,92};
   float stddev=calcstddev(exmgrades,7);
   int size;
   int arrayprint;
   float adjustedscores[size];

   printf("The exm scores are: ");
   for (arrayprint = 0; arrayprint < 7; arrayprint++)
   {
    printf("%.0f ", exmgrades[arrayprint]);
   }

   printf("\nThe standard deviation is %.4f", stddev);
   printf("\nThe adjusted scores are: ");
   for (arrayprint =0; arrayprint <7; arrayprint++)
   {
    printf(".0f", adjustedscores[arrayprint]);
   }


}

Create a Java class named Trivia that contains three instance variables, question of type String that stores the question of the trivia, answer of type String that stores the answer to the question, and points of type integer that stores the points’ value between 1 and 3 based on the difficulty of the question.

Also create the following methods:

1. getQuestion( ) – it will return the question.
2. getAnswer( ) – it will return the answer.
3. getPoints( ) – it will return the point
4. setQuestion( String ) – sets the value of the question variable
5. setAnswer( String ) – sets the value of the answer variable
6. setPoints( int ) – sets the value of the points variable
7. Constructor to initialize the instance variables.
8. Overload Constructor to set the instance variables.
9. Add any other methods you need such as equal( ), toString( ), display( ), calcPoints( )...

Create Java application that contains a main method that plays a simple Trivia game. The game should have 5 questions. Each question has a corresponding answer and point value between 1 and 3. Implement the game using an array of 5 Trivia objects.

Next, open a binary file and store those 5 Trivia objects into a binary file then close the file. Open the file again to read each question one at a time and store them into an array of objects.

Randomly, display a question and allow the player to enter an answer.

If the player’s answer matches the actual answer, the player wins the number of points for that question. If the player’s answer is incorrect, the player wins no points for the question. Make sure the answer is not case sensitive and it is only one word or two words at most. The program should show the correct answer if the player is incorrect. After the player has answered all five questions, the game is over and your program should display the player’s total score.

You need to turn in the code, a sample output of those 5 questions, the player's answers and the total.

Make sure it is readable, formatted and commented.

Research Problem

Find a catalog or visit the Website of a major distributor of microcomputer equipment,such as Computer Discount Warehouse (www.cdw.com) or Dell (www.dell.com). Select or configure a system that provides optimal performance for the following types of users:

· A home user who uses word-processing software, such as Microsoft Office; a home accounting package, such as Quicken or TurboTax; children’s games; and multimedia software for editing pictures and creating video DVDs

· An accountant who uses office software, such as Microsoft Office, and statistical software, such as SPSS or SAS, and downloads large amounts of financial data from a corporate server for statistical and financial modeling .

· An architect who uses typical office software and CAD software, such as AutoCAD

Pay particular attention to whether CPU power, memory, disk space, and I/O capabilities are adequate. Compare the cost of each computer. Which is most expensive and why?

Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully.

Answer the Research Problem above for the three types of users listed. You should have 3 different configurations total because there is not a one-size-fits-all with the different user needs presented. Use a budget of a max of $1,500 per machine, not the total for all three combined, and you do not have to use the entire budget. Do not include productivity software or peripherals such as scanners or printers in the budget total. You may use an online configuration site from major manufacturers (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) or build by individual components. If you are building the PC by individual components, be sure to add the cost of an operating system and necessary peripherals (keyboard/mouse/display). The computers and components must be available on the market today. Do not use components that have been out of stock for years. Do not use a configuration from a prior class, even if you originally created it.

Background:

When Ava started her Business Accounting firm 2 years ago, with 10 employees. This company of hers offers both accounting and bookkeeping services to businesses and is busy between December and April (5 months). Today, her company has 80 employees, supported by a team of 3 Information Technology staff. Her company has a local area network, capable of supporting 100 users/employees. In order to maintain data integrity and security, all data records are accessed via a database server running on the company’s local area network. The database server, of course, enables real-time access to data records. (Hence, no data records are stored on the employee’s computer.)

In the last 2 months, her company lost several bids on potential business projects due to the lack of IT resources, specifically the lack of storage capacity. Ava has decided to adopt the necessary the cloud computing service in order to resolve this issue. In other words, she has decided to shifte from assess-based physical IT resources to service-based virtual resources.

Your task:

1. Research and study to understand the key business operations of Accounting and the key business operations of Bookkeeping. 2. Create a screening rubric (in MS Word or MS Excel) to be used to evaluate/select the cloud service provider for resolving the abovementioned issue for Ava’s Business Accounting firm.

Hints:  You need to determine the cloud service that may resolve the issue before you can create the screening rubric.  Due to data sensitivity (integrity and security), Ava’s business can only use the private cloud model.  Using the rubric created by you, can you select a cloud service provider that can meet Ava’s business requirements?

You are a legal assistant for the attorney of the FUN company. You must conduct research and find three (3) court opinions (i.e. cases that have been previously decided by the court) that are precedent (i.e. have similar facts and issues of law) to the case below. You must provide the case title and citation of each of the three (3) cases you find.

Three months ago the CEO for FUN Company sent a letter to the Pastor for the Church of Stranger Things pledging a $3,000,000.00 donation to the Church. Upon receipt of this news, the Pastor contacted FUN’s CEO who re-assured the Pastor that the Church would be receiving a check for this amount within the ensuing four to six weeks. The Pastor, who for several years had wanted to expand the Church in order to increase its congregation, immediately hired an architect and paid him $400,000.00 to design the new ambitious project. The Pastor was in love with the architect’s design, so he quickly hired a general contractor for $750,000.00 to start the building process. In addition to the $750,000.00 for the labor, the Pastor paid another 1,100,000.00 for the tools and materials needed for the project. Five weeks after receiving the letter and first speaking to FUN’s CEO on the phone, the bishop called FUN because he was nervous about the fact that he had not received the check and he had already incurred such significant expenses. Note that the only reason the Pastor engaged in this ambitious construction project was because of the extra money he was counting on getting from FUN since the Church’s structure did not need it to continue its regular operations. The CEO at that point told the Pastor that soon after committing to donate the money, FUN’s finances started going terribly wrong and as such at this point, they were not able to make a donation to the church. The Pastor is now demanding that FUN still true to its word and give the church the donation.
