A floating-point operation is a single arithmetic operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. (a) Estimate the maximum number of floating- point operations a human being could possibly perform in a lifetime. (b) How long would it take a supercomputer to perform that many floating-point operations?

Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States. The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 30 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discrepancy in the shipment volume in liters (L)? Give your answer as a positive number.

Sales delay is the elapsed time between the manufacture of a product and its sale. According an article it is quite common for investigators to model sales delay using a lognormal distribution. For a particular product, the cited article proposes this distribution with parameter values μ = 2.09 and ² = 0.07 (here the unit for delay is months). LUSE SALT (a) What are the variance and standard deviation of delay time? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) months² months variance standard deviation (b) What is the probability that delay time exceeds 12 months? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What is the probability that delay time is within one standard deviation of its mean value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The length and width of a rectangular room are measured to be 3.885 ± 0.0065 m and 3.2 ± 0.0045 m. In this problem you can approximate the error on a product or quotient of quantities by the sum of the percent error on each quantity.Calculate the floor area of the room in square meters.
