Comment on Rosalind: Learn bioinformatics by programming itparentComments−fao_6yI was going to suggest that the result was bad because of floating point error, but then I reread the value and, it doesn't seem like that amount of variance could be produced by errors introduced in the floating point calculations?−patrec6yYou sum 7 numbers all around 100. Assuming I didn't mess up, the maximal floating point error for that is ~100·7·2^-53 which is < 10^-13.
