Suppose that the scalar pipelined MIPS processor had the ability (similar to that of the SparcV8) to annul the instruction in the branch delay slot. If the branch is not taken, what effect would this have (if any) on the pipeline control bits for the instruction in the branch delay slot?

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. the highest speed measured was 78.1 mbps. the complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x overbarequals16.11 mbps and a standard deviation of sequals18.65 mbps. a. what is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. how many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. convert the carrier's highest data speed to a z score. d. if we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between minus2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant? a. the difference is nothing mbps.
