Floating-point operations In general, real numbers (with infinite decimal expansions) cannot be represented exactly in a computer by floating-point numbers (with finite decimal expansions). Suppose floating-point numbers on a particular computer carry an error of at most $10^{-16} .$ Estimate the maximum error that is committed in evaluating the following functions. Express the error in absolute and relative (percent) terms. a. $f(x, y)=x y$ b. $f(x, y)=\frac{x}{y}$ c. $F(x, y, z)=x y z$ d. $F(x, y, z)=\frac{x / y}{z}$

Sampling error is most likely due to sloppy procedures. random variations in the data. having too large a sample size. errors in the calculation.

Percent error A known quantity that serves as a scientific reference. Precision Produced by device limitations resulting in both high and low measurements Random error Systematic error A description of how closely measurements agree with each other True value Used to quantify the difference between measured and expected values Produced by poorly calibrated devices resulting in consistently high or low measurements
