    In total 39 hand patterns are possible, but only 13 of them have an a priori probability exceeding 1%. The most likely pattern is the 4-4-3-2 pattern consisting of two four-card suits, a three-card suit and a doubleton.

    If the powerball is drawn from a pool of numbers different from the main lottery, the odds are multiplied by the number of powerballs. For example, in the 6 from 49 lottery, given 10 powerball numbers, then the odds of getting a score of 3 and the powerball would be 1 in 56.66 × 10, or 566.6 (the probability would be divided by 10, to give an ...

    The sample odds ratio n 11 n 00 / n 10 n 01 is easy to calculate, and for moderate and large samples performs well as an estimator of the population odds ratio. When one or more of the cells in the contingency table can have a small value, the sample odds ratio can be biased and exhibit high variance .

    A simple method to add floating-point numbers is to first represent them with the same exponent. In the example below, the second number is shifted right by 3 digits. We proceed with the usual addition method: The following example is decimal, which simply means the base is 10. 123456.7 = 1.234567 × 10 5.

    Multiply both sides by the power of 10 just great enough (in this case 10 4) to move the decimal point just before the repeating part of the decimal number: 10,000x = 1,523. 987; Multiply both sides by the power of 10 (in this case 10 3) that is the same as the number of places that repeat: 10,000,000x = 1,523,987. 987
