A discretization is a sequence of cut-points, and the values of pieces between these cut-points (for example: a protocol for two agents might require each agent to report a sequence of three cut-points (0,x,1) where the values of (0,x) and (x,1) are 1/2).
Use the median to divide the ordered data set into two halves. The median becomes the second quartile. The median becomes the second quartile. If there are an odd number of data points in the original ordered data set, do not include the median (the central value in the ordered list) in either half.
Sometimes the cutting of the assistant is emphasised by sawing between the two halves of the box before sliding the dividers into place. Catches are released to allow the table to be separated into two halves along with the box. The halves are parted and the assistant thus appears to have been cut into two completely disconnected pieces.
Divide and choose (also Cut and choose or I cut, you choose) is a procedure for fair division of a continuous resource, such as a cake, between two parties. It involves a heterogeneous good or resource ("the cake") and two partners who have different preferences over parts of the cake (both want as much of it as possible). The procedure ...
Let p be an interior point of the disk, and let n be a multiple of 4 that is greater than or equal to 8. Form n sectors of the disk with equal angles by choosing an arbitrary line through p, rotating the line n / 2 − 1 times by an angle of 2 π / n radians, and slicing the disk on each of the resulting n / 2 lines.
The origin of changing ends at half-time lies in the early English public school football games.One early use of a fixed half-time (as suggested by Adrian Harvey in his book, Football, The First Hundred Years: The Untold Story) is that the origin of the practice was to allow for two football teams each used to a different set of rules to play half of the game by familiar rules, and half by the ...
"Four quarters instead of two halves: Men's college basketball is the only visible form of the game in the world that does not have quarters. It is not a question of remaining unique. It is not a ...
The maximum number of pieces from consecutive cuts are the numbers in the Lazy Caterer's Sequence. When a circle is cut n times to produce the maximum number of pieces, represented as p = f (n), the n th cut must be considered; the number of pieces before the last cut is f (n − 1), while the number of pieces added by the last cut is n.
