One reason why the secretary problem has received so much attention is that the optimal policy for the problem (the stopping rule) is simple and selects the single best candidate about 37% of the time, irrespective of whether there are 100 or 100 million applicants.
Optimal stopping problems can be found in areas of statistics, economics, and mathematical finance (related to the pricing of American options). A key example of an optimal stopping problem is the secretary problem .
[2] 37 is the smallest non-supersingular prime in moonshine theory. 37 is also an emirp because it remains prime when its digits are reversed. The secretary problem is also known as the 37% rule, since 1 e ≈ 37 % {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{e}}\approx 37\%} .
For the purposes of these primaries, the five territories and D.C. are counted as states (Rule 27). This five-state rule is Rule No. 40 of the rules of the Republican Party as adopted by the 2008 Republican National Convention and amended by the Republican National Committee on August 6, 2010. [14]
In this regard, analysis by Margaritondo gives an optimal formula of: =, where A is the size of the assembly, P is the population, and E = 0.45±0.03. Applying this formula to the U.S. House of Representatives as of the 2020 Census would give a House of between 379 and 1231 members, while using an exponent of 0.4507 gives 693 (the same result ...
Under rules contained in the current Internal Revenue Code, real property is not subject to depreciation recapture. However, under IRC § 1(h)(1)(D), real property that has experienced a gain after providing a taxpayer with a depreciation deduction is subject to a 25% tax rate—10% higher than the usual rate for a capital gain.
The average rate for shorter 15-year terms is 6.35% for purchase and 6.38% for refinance, a decrease of 2 basis points from 6.37% for purchase and increase of 2 basis points from 6.36% for ...
The rule is intended to use a market mechanism to weed out the worst performing proprietary schools. The requirement's intent was to ensure that no school could rely solely on federal funding. Since 2010, growing scrutiny of the for-profit industry has spurred new efforts to strengthen the 90–10 rule.
