Another set of numeral adjectives, similar to the above but differing in the adjectives for 1, 3, and 4, were the distributive numerals: singulī, bīnī, ternī, quaternī, quīnī, sēnī, and so on. The meaning of these is 'one each', 'two each' (or 'in pairs') and so on, for example ibī turrīs cum ternīs tabulātīs ērigēbat (Julius ...
The same suffix may be used with more than one category of number, as for example the orginary numbers secondary and tertiary and the distributive numbers binary and ternary. For the hundreds, there are competing forms: Those in -gent- , from the original Latin, and those in -cent- , derived from centi- , etc. plus the prefixes for 1 through 9 .
Quinary (base 5 or pental [1] [2] [3]) is a numeral system with five as the base. A possible origination of a quinary system is that there are five digits on either hand . In the quinary place system, five numerals, from 0 to 4 , are used to represent any real number .
Both upper case M and lower case m each have three points on the baseline and look like the numeral 3 on its side. 4 /r/ r, l (as sounded in colonel) Four ends with r (and /r/ in rhotic accents). 5 /l/ l: L is the Roman numeral for 50. Among the five digits of one's left hand, the thumb and index fingers also form an L. 6 /tʃ/, /dʒ/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/
Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...
Grouped by their numerical property as used in a text, Unicode has four values for Numeric Type. First there is the "not a number" type. Then there are decimal-radix numbers, commonly used in Western style decimals (plain 0–9), there are numbers that are not part of a decimal system such as Roman numbers, and decimal numbers in typographic context, such as encircled numbers.
