Question

1. Design an algorithm to find the weighted sum of four test scores (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_function). Assume that the weights have been accurately calculated in advance such that their sum equals one.  Your algorithm must-read in the four test scores and four corresponding weights in the following order:

score1 weight1 score2 weight2 score3 weight3 score4 weight4

Write your algorithm such that it can be run with any set of data values. However, you can test your algorithm on the following sample data to verify that the result is 70:

90 0.10 80 0.20 70 0.30 60 0.40

 

2. Write an algorithm that prompts the user for the radius, in inches, and price of a pizza, and then reads in those values.  Finally, have the algorithm compute and output the pizza’s cost per square inch.

 

3. Sports exercise advisor algorithm. In this algorithm you will start out with a temperature value in Celsius, so you do not need to ask the user for it. First, convert the temperature to Fahrenheit. Then display a recommended sports exercise based on the Fahrenheit temperature as follows: for temperatures between 65 and 80° display tennis, for colder temperatures display ping pong, and for warmer temperatures display canoeing.

 

Thank you so much for your time and help :)
