Collection NUMBERS already exists and stores real numbers.

Construct in pseudocode an algorithm, using the access methods of a collection, which will iterate through the collection NUMBERS and count how many elements stored in the collection are in the interval [−1,1].

The final answer should be output.

Identify three characteristics of a collection.

Assume X = 5, Y = 3 and A = TRUE.

Determine the value of the following expression:

$\left(\right(\mathrm{X} > 5) \mathrm{XOR} \mathrm{A}) \mathrm{AND} (\mathrm{Y} + 2 > 4)$

Show all your working.

The transport authority wishes to know how many passengers, on average, travel on each day of the week.

Using the procedure total construct the pseudocode to output the day of the week with the highest average number of passengers, and the value of this average.

You should make use of the sub procedure convert() which converts the numbers 0 to 6 into days of the week, for example convert(1) will return “Tuesday”.

Using P_ARRAY, construct pseudocode to output the day of the week with the highest average number of passengers. Use the sub procedure convert() which converts the numbers 0 to 6 into days of the week, for example convert(1) will return “Tuesday”.

Note: you should not assume that data for an exact number of weeks is stored.
