Test your program with n-5, i.e numbers of observations
i am completely novice in qbasic
Answer Hi, Joe,
I'll help you out a bit, but...
- This is definately homework, so I won't give you the answers, but I'll help if you show an honest effort
- Your information means absolutely nothing to me.
I realize you are doing a program that calculates the averages of sets of numbers. Presumably, if this is homework, your text book/teacher will have a math formula for each situation, or your math text book will in any case. All you have to do is to think about what you would do if you had the problem, and figure out how to get the computer to do it. For instance, to find the average, you have to be able to compare each number, which can be done in QBasic using arrays and FOR/NEXT loops.
So, once you have more information, and show me your work so far, I might be able to make some improvements or suggestions,
