Chapter 2, Problem 13PP

The Harris–Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

The formula for the calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is BMR=655+(4.3×weight in pounds)+(4.7×height in inches)–(4.7×age in years)

The formula for the calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is BMR=66+(6.3×weight in pounds)+(12.9×height in inches)–(6.8×age in years)

A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a program that allows the user to input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, age in years, and the character M for male and F for female. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for the appropriate sex of the specified weight, height, and age.

The Harris-Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR. The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is: WBMR = 655 + (4.3 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7× age in years) The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is: MBMR = 66 + (6.3 × weight in pounds) + (12.9 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years) A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a java program that allows the user to input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, and age in years. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for both a woman and a man of the input weight, height, and age.   NOTE: This is an application of a selection statement!  Input Data: Use a named constant for the number of calories in a “typical chocolate bar.” Use Scanner methods to enter the…
The mitotic index is a calculated value that represents the percentage of cells in a sample that are actively dividing. It involves counting the total number of cells present including those actively dividing or those in interphase, the total number of cells that are actively dividing (not including interphase), and then calculating what percentage of the total cells are actively dividing (the percentage undergoing mitosis).   The formula is: Mitotic index= # of cells in mitosis / # of cells in total x 100%     Use this formula to calculate the mitotic index for the diagram seen in Question 5. Show your calculations (you can use * for multiplication and / for division if you prefer) and indicate your final answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage (1 decimal place).   Note: The mitotic index seen in this simulation is much higher than you would see in a real tissue sample. The sample was simulated this way so that the counting and calculations would be easier…
Interest Rates Savings accounts state an interest rate and a compounding period. If theamount deposited is P, the stated interest rate is r, and interest is compounded m timesper year, then the balance in the account after one year is P⋅(1+rm)m. For instance, if$1000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded quarterly (that is, 4 times per year), thenthe balance after one year is1000⋅(1+.034)4=1000⋅1.00754=$1,030.34.Interest rates with different compounding periods cannot be compared directly.The concept of APY (annual percentage yield) must be used to make the comparison. TheAPY for a stated interest rate r compounded m times per year is defined byAPY=(1+rm)m−1.(The APY is the simple interest rate that yields the same amount of interest after oneyear as the compounded annual rate of interest.) Write a program to compare interestrates offered by two different banks and determine the most favorable interest rate. SeeFig. 4.24.
