Question 3(b)(ii) By using a pipeline with 5 stages, a program with 20 instructions is executed. There is 20 percent chance of encountering a branch instruction. The probability that a branch is taken is 40 percent. Each stage of the pipeline requires one clock cycle. Calculate the speedup of the pipeline.
