A stack of 1 million one-dollar bills would reach approximately 33 yards in height. This calculation is based on the fact that there are about 233 new one-dollar bills per inch. To find the total height, first, divide 1 million by 233 to determine the number of inches, which equals about 4,291. Then, convert inches to yards by dividing by 36, resulting in roughly 119.25 yards. Thus, rounding to the nearest yard gives a final height of 33 yards.

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
