A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy or false binary, is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise.
The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present. The false positive rate is equal to the significance level. The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate.
A word is a fixed-sized datum handled as a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor. The number of bits or digits [a] in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any specific processor design or computer architecture.
The statement A ∨ B is true if A or B (or both) are true; if both are false, the statement is false. n ≥ 4 ∨ n ≤ 2 ⇔ n ≠ 3 when n is a natural number . ⊕
in the skew binary number system, only the least-significant non-zero digit can have a value of 2, and the remaining digits have a value of 0 or 1; 1 for true, 2 for false, and 0 for unknown, unknowable/undecidable, irrelevant, or both; [16] 0 for false, 1 for true, and a third non-integer "maybe" symbol such as ?, #, 1 / 2 , [17] or xy.
I was born with physical traits—external sex anatomy, internal reproductive organs, hormones, and chromosomes—that don’t fit neatly into the binary “male” or “female” options on a ...
Common Lisp uses an empty list for false, and any other value for true. The C programming language uses an integer type, where relational expressions like i > j and logical expressions connected by && and || are defined to have value 1 if true and 0 if false, whereas the test parts of if, while, for, etc., treat any non-zero value as true.
Non-binary individuals may have any genitalia, but "feel they do not fit into a masculine or feminine gender identity," says Dr. Reed. "If there were a scale of masculinity, black, to femininity ...
