Chapter 2, Problem 2P

The Babylonian algorithm to compute the square root of a number n is as follows:

1.    Make a guess at the answer (you can pick n/2 as your initial guess).

2.    Compute r = n /guess

3.    Set guess = (guess + r) / 2

4.    Go back to step 2 for as many iterations as necessary. The more that steps 2 and 3 are repeated, the closer guess will become to the square root of n.

Write a program that inputs a double for n and iterates through the Babylonian algorithm 100 times. For a more challenging version, iterate until guess is within 1% of the previous guess, and outputs the answer as a double.

(Short-answer) b. Continue from the previous question. Suppose part of the data you extracted from the data warehouse is the following.   Identify the missing values you think exist in the dataset. Use Column letter and Row number to refer to each missing value in the dataset. Please write down how you want to address each particular missing value (you can group them if they receive same treatment). For imputation, you do not need to calculate the exact imputed values but just describe what kind of value you want to use to impute.
Please original work Locate data warehousing solutions offered by IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon Compare and contrast the capabilities of each solution and provide several names of some organizations that utilize each of these solutions. Please cite in text references and add weblinks
