TA ZC 164- Computer Programming
Assignment – 1
Deadline: 29/ September/2014
Question-1:
The Birthday Problem: The birthday problem is stated as follows:
If there is a group of n people in a room, what is the probability that two or more of them having same birthday? It is possible to determine answer to this question by simulation. (Hint: You can generate random dates, n times and determine the fraction of people who born in a given day). Write a function that determines the answer to this question by simulation. The program you write can take n as the input and prints out the probability that two or more of n people will have the same birthday for n=2,3,4…. 40
Question-2:
Write a single program that calculates the arithmetic mean (average), rms average, geometric mean and harmonic mean for a set of n positive numbers. Your program should take two values xlow and xhigh and generate 10000 random numbers in the range [xlow…xhigh], and should print out arithmetic mean (average), rms average, geometric mean and h
