HI,

I have been working on this program for a bit now and having a little bit of trouble, I have got most of it but still a few stumbles.

Here is the Directions:

Write a program that will generate an unknown (between 93 and 139) count of random numbers whose values fall between 147 and 206. Calculate the average to 2 decimal places and standard deviation to 3 decimals. On the monitor display only the count of numbers, the mean, and the standard deviation. Then after you have displayed alll of that information list them again in 5 columns in order from high to low and then have skipped two spaces.

I just chose lower numbers than required for now to see if I can figure this out any easier.

So far I can get everything to work but coming out with strange numbers for standard deviation and average.

std deviation is sqrt of ( 2 2
sum of num (sum of num)
_____________ ___ _____________
2
count count

this is what i have so far:

srand((unsigned int) time (NULL));
int first, second;
int high, low, high2, low2;
int number, number2;
int total, total2, overall;
double average, deviation;
high = 3;
low = 2;
high2 = 10;
low2 = 5;


for (first=0; first<1; first++)
{
number = rand()%(high-low+1)+low;
}

for (second=0; second < number; second++)
{
number2 = rand()%(high2-low2+1)+low2;
total = number2 * number2;
total2 = total2 + number2;
overall = overall + total;
cout << number2 << endl;


}
average = total2 / second;
deviation = sqrt((overall/second) - ((total2 * total2)/(second * second)));

cout << setprecision ( 2 ) << average << endl;
cout << setprecision ( 3 ) << deviation << endl;



Thank you all for any help you can give.
