Answers
The pressure at sea level is about 1013 atmospheres
It is not.
Maybe 1.013 atm today
.383 * 0.12 = 0.04586
1 - 0.04586 = 0.954
multiply that by 1.013
It is not.
Maybe 1.013 atm today
.383 * 0.12 = 0.04586
1 - 0.04586 = 0.954
multiply that by 1.013
so the pressure is 1.013 * 0.88^x
1.013 * 0.88^0.383 = 0.965
1.013 * 0.88^0.383 = 0.965
