  2. ClearType - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType

    This increases edge contrast and readability of small fonts at the expense of font rendering fidelity and has been criticized by graphic designers for making different fonts look similar. Like most other types of subpixel rendering, ClearType involves a compromise, sacrificing one aspect of image quality (color or chrominance detail) for ...

  3. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    In this case, the actual volume might be 2.94 L or possibly 3.02 L, so all three digits are considered significant. [1] Thus, there are three significant figures in this example. The following types of digits are not considered significant: [2] Leading zeros. For instance, 013 kg has two significant figures—1 and 3—while the leading zero is ...

  4. Type I and type II errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors

    If the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one obtained, supposing that the null hypothesis were true, is lower than a pre-specified cut-off probability (for example, 5%), then the result is said to be statistically significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

  6. Effect size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size

    In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...

  7. Ultraviolet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

    Halogen lamps with fused quartz envelopes are used as inexpensive UV light sources in the near UV range, from 400 to 300 nm, in some scientific instruments. Due to its black-body spectrum a filament light bulb is a very inefficient ultraviolet source, emitting only a fraction of a percent of its energy as UV, as explained by the black body ...

  8. Low-alcohol beer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-alcohol_beer

    In Canada, regular beers typically have 5% ABV, while a reduced-alcohol beer contains 2.6%–4.0% ABV and an "extra-light" beer contains less than 2.5%. [21] In the United States, most mass-market light beer brands, including Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite, have 4.2% ABV, less than ordinary beers from the same makers which are 5% ABV. [19]

  9. Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

    Change in volume with increasing alc/vol. Mixing two solutions of alcohol of different strengths usually causes a change in volume. Mixing pure water with a solution less than 24% by mass causes a slight increase in total volume, whereas the mixing of two solutions above 24% causes a decrease in volume.
