The order of data points affects the output of stochastic gradient descent (here you can assume that computer arithmetic is exact)

False. Stochastic gradient descent is a randomized optimization algorithm and the order of data points does not affect the convergence. However, the order of the data points can affect the speed of convergence and the final solution obtained.
