C Programming

It’s a very easy assignment hence the price. Hardly 1 hour. I just don’t have the time.
I need all the functions, a .h file, a makefile and a read me.
It has to be plagiarism-free.
Please do not use any high-end programming code because this is a first-year undergraduate assignment.
The function mentioned in the instructions is as follows:
double rand_double(double a, double b)
{
double rtrn;
int c=0;
rtrn = ((double)rand()/(double)RAND_MAX) * (b-a)+a;
c++;
return rtrn;
}

Human Observation Project Procedures AB

Form is Attatched 

Observe three individuals from three points in the life span.  Only use subjects you do not know and to whom you are not related.  Select one subject from each of the following periods.

  • Early Childhood  (3-5 years of age)
  • Middle childhood through adolescence  (7-19 years of age)
  • Adulthood (20 years and older)

Record at least one example for each of the terms on the .

Assign a code name to subjects observed to protect their privacy. Code names usually reflect a characteristic of the subject such as “Miss Eats A Lot” and “Little Blue Shirt.”

Locations: Complete observations in a public place such as McDonald’s, a classroom, a clinic waiting room, athletic practice, church youth group, retirement center, or a workplace.  

Record specific, objective descriptions of behavior for each term listed.  

This is a clinical style report. List the term and provide the example of the behavior.

Do not state an opinion or make a judgment concerning the behavior.  Simply describe the behavior observed.

Allow yourself sufficient time to gather data.  Young children move more rapidly and produce a great deal of observable data very quickly.  Older adults may require a longer observation period in order to collect a sample for each term listed.

Submit only objective observations.

An example would be: Receptive Language – The teacher asked Red Shirt to place his coat in his cubby.  Red Shirt said, “Yes, mam.”  He placed his coat in the correct cubby.

Be descriptive and provide specifics such as “Hero could hear his coach call him to come on the field from a distance of approximately 50 feet with traffic noise in the background.”

Statements such as “He has a great vocabulary for his age,” “She had an attitude toward her mother,” and “Bright Eyes was the tallest in her class” are not objective.
