  2. Greater-than sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater-than_sign

    The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, > , has been found in documents dated as far back as 1631. [ 1 ]

  3. Binomial test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_test

    As we have observed a value greater than the expected value, we could consider the probability of observing 51 6s or higher under the null, which would constitute a one-tailed test (here we are basically testing whether this die is biased towards generating more 6s than expected). In order to calculate the probability of 51 or more 6s in a ...

  4. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    In mathematical analysis, the maximum and minimum [a] of a function are, respectively, the greatest and least value taken by the function. Known generically as extremum , [ b ] they may be defined either within a given range (the local or relative extrema) or on the entire domain (the global or absolute extrema) of a function.

  5. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_(mathematics)

    The relation not greater than can also be represented by , the symbol for "greater than" bisected by a slash, "not". The same is true for not less than , a ≮ b . {\displaystyle a\nless b.} The notation a ≠ b means that a is not equal to b ; this inequation sometimes is considered a form of strict inequality. [ 4 ]

    unstrict inequality signs (less-than or equals to sign and greater-than or equals to sign) 1670 (with the horizontal bar over the inequality sign, rather than below it) John Wallis: 1734 (with double horizontal bar below the inequality sign) Pierre Bouguer

  7. Spreadsheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreadsheet

    However, in Microsoft Excel, subroutines can write values or text found within the subroutine directly to the spreadsheet. The figure shows the Visual Basic code for a subroutine that reads each member of the named column variable x , calculates its square, and writes this value into the corresponding element of named column variable y .

  8. Upper and lower bounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_and_lower_bounds

    The upper bound is called sharp if equality holds for at least one value of x. It indicates that the constraint is optimal, and thus cannot be further reduced without invalidating the inequality. Similarly, a function g defined on domain D and having the same codomain (K, ≤) is an upper bound of f, if g(x) ≥ f (x) for each x in D.

  9. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x , Excel first approximates x as a binary number. If this binary version of x is a simple power of 2, the 15 digit decimal approximation to x is stored in the sum, and the top two examples of the figure indicate recovery of x ...
