Chapter 6, Problem 3P

a. Compute the median of a data file. The median is the number that has the same number of data elements greater than the number as there are less than the number. For purposes of this problem, you are to assume that the data is sorted (that is, is in increasing order). The median is the middle element of the file if there are an odd number of elements, or the average of the two middle elements if the file has an even number of elements. You will need to open the file, count the elements, close the file and calculate the location of the middle of the file, open the file again (recall the “start over” discussion in this chapter), count up to the file entries you need, and calculate the middle.

If your instructor has assigned this problem, ask for a data file to test your program with. Otherwise, construct several files on your own, including one with an even number of data points, increasing, and one with an odd number, also increasing.

b. For a sorted file, a quartile is one of three numbers: The first has one-fourth the data values less than or equal to it, one-fourth the data values between the first and second numbers, one-fourth the data points between the second and the third, and one-fourth above the third quartile. Find the three quartiles for the data file you used for part (a).

(Hint: You should recognize that having done part (a) you have one third of your job done—you have the second quartile already. You also should recognize that you have done almost all the work toward finding the other two quartiles as well.)

In The Readline Technique, on page 179, you learned how to read somefiles from the Time Series Data Library. In particular, you learned aboutthe Hopedale data set, which describes the number of colored fox fur peltsproduced from 1834 to 1842. This file contains one value per year perline.a. Write an outline in English of the algorithm you would use to readthe values from this data set to compute the average number of peltsproduced per year.b. Translate your algorithm into Python by writing a function namedhopedale_average that takes a filename as a parameter and returns theaverage number of pelts produced per year.
Please design the mapper and reducer for the below WordCount problem. WordCount problem: Given an input text file, count the frequency of each word in the file. Please design the input and output pairs for the Mapper and Reducer, use below table for reference. Input Output We get the "WordCount.jar" file by using the above table. It only contains Mapper and Reducer. There is no Combiner and no Partitioner in this program. Please illustrate how the WordCount.jar program works on the below dataset. This text file only contains one line. Dataset: the sound sounds sound. it is the right right, right? Suppose we run the WordCount.jar program on this file. Suppose that the space symbol, and "?" are all used for separating the words. The outputs of the Mapper are Mapper The outputs of the reducer are Reducer Answer: Are the results sorted alphabetically? When was it sorted? 2 27 20 35
Q1: Write a M-file program to enter a square matrix A(m,m), find: 1. The average of upper triangle. 2. The average of lower triangle. 3. The average of main diagonal. Q2: Write an M-file program to enter a square matrix A(m,m) and find the average of all element in the matrix except main diagonal? Q3: Write an M-file program to find the average of any matrix (A)?
