You begin solving a jigsaw puzzle by finding two pieces that match and fitting them together. Every subsequent step of the solution consists of fitting together two blocks, each of which is made up of one or more pieces that have previously been assembled. Prove that for every integer n>= 1, the number of steps required to put together all n pieces of a jigsaw puzzle is n-1

Class: Numerical Methods Textbook: Numerical Analysis 10th Ed by Burden and Faires Topic: Round-off Errors and Computer Arithmetic (Sec 1.2) 3) Two calculations for the true values A (ATRUE = 1,100) and B (BTRUE = 1,000,100) yield the approximate values AAPPROX = 1,000 and BAPPROX = 1,000,000. The approximate values are both off by 100, therefore these values are equally accurate. Does this conclusion make sense? Why or why not? 4) For a 4-digit decimal machine numbers (with exponents in the range -6 ≤ n ≤ 6), find Largest possible number = ________________________ Smallest possible positive number = _____________________

Clocking the Cheetah. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)isthe fastest land mammal and is highly specialized to run down prey. The cheetah often exceeds speeds of 60 mph and, according to the online document “Cheetah Conservation in Southern Africa” (Trade&Envi-ronment Database (TED) Case Studies, Vol. 8, No. 2) by J. Urbaniak, the cheetah is capable of speeds up to 72 mph. The WeissStats site contains the top speeds, in miles per hour, for a sample of 35 chee-tahs. Use the technology of your choice to do the following tasks. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean top speed, μ,ofall cheetahs. Assume that the population standard deviation of top speeds is 3.2 mph. d. Comment on the advisability of using the z-interval procedure on these data.
