  2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    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.

  3. Quantile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile

    Excel's PERCENTILE and PERCENTILE.INC and Python's optional "inclusive" method are equivalent to R‑7. This is R's and Julia's default method. Packages differ in how they estimate quantiles beyond the lowest and highest values in the sample, i.e. p < 1/ N and p > ( N − 1)/ N .

  4. 97.5th percentile point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/97.5th_percentile_point

    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.

  5. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    Half-life (symbol t ½) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value.The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive.

  6. Fission product yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_product_yield

    Yield is usually stated as percentage per fission, so that the total yield percentages sum to 200%. Less often, it is stated as percentage of all fission products, so that the percentages sum to 100%. Ternary fission, about 0.2–0.4% of fissions, also produces a third light nucleus such as helium-4 (90%) or tritium (7%).

  7. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    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.

  8. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    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.

  9. Atomic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_ratio

    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,
