Chapter 2, Problem 12P
The bubble sort is an inefficient, but easy-to-program, sorting technique. The idea behind the sort is to move down through an array comparing adjacent pairs and swapping the values if they are out of order. For this method to sort the array completely, it may need to pass through it many times. As the passes proceed for an ascending-order sort, the smaller elements in the array appear to rise toward the top like bubbles. Eventually, there will be a pass through the array where no swaps are required. Then, the array is sorted. After the first pass, the largest value in the array drops directly to the bottom. Consequently, the second pass only has to proceed to the second-to-last value, and so on. Develop a program to set up an array of 20 random numbers and sort them in ascending order with the bubble sort (Fig. P2.12).

She secretly records when each person comes into her class. Everyone in the class at the bell gets a score of zero. Then, as each late person comes in, the number of seconds after the bell that the person arrives is recorded. Number of seconds late, then, is each person's individual score. The scores ranged from 0 to 600 (for people who were 10 minutes late). The teacher also has each person's exam average over the semester. She wants some estimate of the degree of relationship between a person's lateness and his or her exam scores in her class. Which statistic should she use? a. Z-test b. One Sample t-test c.

- A family is coloring eggs and wants to make two shades of purple, “light purple” and “deep purple”. They have 30 tablespoons of red solution and 2 tablespoons of blue solution. If “light purple” consists of 2% blue solution, and “deep purple” consists of 10% blue solution, how much of each version of purple solution can be created? Let x represent thenumber of tablespoons of “light purple” to be created, and let y represent the number of tablespoons of “deep purple”. Based on the information provided, the two tablespoons of blue solution will be distributed according to the following linear equation. 2 = ? x + ? y Complete the equation above by filling in the boxes, then write a similar linear equation that shows the distribution of the red solution. Solve the resulting system of linear equations.arrow_forwardAnela is a computer scientist who is formulating a large and complicated program for a type of data processing.
