The repeating sequence of digits is called "repetend" which has a certain length greater than 0, also called "period". [5] In base 10, a fraction has a repeating decimal if and only if in lowest terms, its denominator has any prime factors besides 2 or 5, or in other words, cannot be expressed as 2 m 5 n, where m and n are non-negative integers.
In statistics, a k-th percentile, also known as percentile score or centile, is a score (e.g., a data point) below which a given percentage k of arranged scores in its frequency distribution falls ("exclusive" definition) or a score at or below which a given percentage falls ("inclusive" definition); i.e. a score in the k-th percentile would be above approximately k% of all scores in its set.
Probability density of a normal distribution, with quantiles shown.The area below the red curve is the same in the intervals (−∞,Q 1), (Q 1,Q 2), (Q 2,Q 3), and (Q 3,+∞).
95% of the area under the normal distribution lies within 1.96 standard deviations away from the mean.. In probability and statistics, the 97.5th percentile point of the standard normal distribution is a number commonly used for statistical calculations.
A second of arc, arcsecond (abbreviated as arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [2] is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1 / 60 of a minute of arc, 1 / 3600 of a degree, [1] 1 / 1 296 000 of a turn, and π / 648 000 (about 1 / 206 264.8 ) of a radian.
Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.
In laser physics however, the atomic ratio may refer to the doping ratio or the doping fraction. For example, theoretically, a 100% doping ratio of Yb : Y 3 Al 5 O 12 is pure Yb 3 Al 5 O 12 . The doping fraction equals,
In applied mathematics, a number is normalized when it is written in scientific notation with one non-zero decimal digit before the decimal point. [1] Thus, a real number, when written out in normalized scientific notation, is as follows:
