The following class StatCalc defines a series of methods for computing statistics for a group of numbers.
/*
* An object of class StatCalc can be used to compute several simple statistics
* for a set of numbers. Numbers are entered into the dataset using
* the enter(double) method. Methods are provided to return the following
* statistics for the set of numbers that have been entered: The number
* of items, the sum of the items, the average, and the standard deviation
*/
public class StatCalc {
private int count; // Number of numbers that have been entered.
private double sum; // The sum of all the items that have been entered.
private double squareSum; // The sum of the squares of all the items.
/**
* Add a number to the dataset. The statistics will be computed for all
* the numbers that have been added to the dataset using this method.
*/
public void enter(double num) {
count++;
sum += num;
squareSum += num*num;
}
/**
* Return the number of items that have been entered into the dataset.
*/
public int getCount() {
return count;
}
/**
* Return the sum of all the numbers that have been entered.
*/
public double getSum() {
return sum;
}
/**
* Return the average of all the items that have been entered.
* The return value is Double.NaN if no numbers have been entered.
*/
public double getMean() {
return sum / count;
}
/**
* Return the standard deviation of all the items that have been entered.
* The return value is Double.NaN if no numbers have been entered.
*/
public double getStandardDeviation() {
double mean = getMean();
return Math.sqrt( squareSum/count - mean*mean );
}
} // end class StatCalc
Using the StatCalc class, write a program that calculates and then displays as output to the console, the following statistics against the set of numbers given below.
Statistics that must be calculated:
Count – Quantity of numbers in the data set.
Mean – The mean or average of the numbers in the data set.
Standard Deviation – The measure of variance (or dispersion) from the mean.
The set of numbers that you must use is as follows:
5 7 12 23 3 2 8 14 10 5 9 13
You must create a program with a main method that defines the StatCalc class and instantiates an instance of StatCalc called myStatCalc. Your program should instantiate the instance of the StatCalc using a statement similar to the following:
StatCalc myStatCalc;
myStatCalc = new StatCalc();
