  2. Prandtl number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl_number

    For air with a pressure of 1 bar, the Prandtl numbers in the temperature range between −100 °C and +500 °C can be calculated using the formula given below. [2] The temperature is to be used in the unit degree Celsius. The deviations are a maximum of 0.1% from the literature values.

  3. Lottery mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics

    In a typical 6/49 game, each player chooses six distinct numbers from a range of 1–49. If the six numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn by the lottery, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner— regardless of the order of the numbers. The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816. The chance of winning can be demonstrated as ...

    Moreover as there is a simple formula, having the last permutation in each can save even more time to go directly to a permutation with certain index in fewer steps than expected as it can be done in blocks of subgroups rather than swap by swap.

  5. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers n ≥ k ≥ 0 and is written It is the coefficient of the xk term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x)n; this coefficient can be computed by the multiplicative formula. which using factorial notation can be compactly expressed as.

  6. Normal curve equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_curve_equivalent

    In educational statistics, a normal curve equivalent (NCE), developed for the United States Department of Education by the RMC Research Corporation, [1] is a way of normalizing scores received on a test into a 0-100 scale similar to a percentile rank, but preserving the valuable equal-interval properties of a z-score. It is defined as:

  7. Percentile rank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank

    The figure illustrates the percentile rank computation and shows how the 0.5 × F term in the formula ensures that the percentile rank reflects a percentage of scores less than the specified score. For example, for the 10 scores shown in the figure, 60% of them are below a score of 4 (five less than 4 and half of the two equal to 4) and 95% are ...

  8. Parkinson's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law

    Parkinson's law can refer to either of two observations, published in 1955 by the naval historian C. Northcote Parkinson as an essay in The Economist: [1] the number of workers within public administration, bureaucracy or officialdom tends to grow, regardless of the amount of work to be done. This was attributed mainly to two factors: that ...

  9. Bernoulli trial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial

    In the theory of probability and statistics, a Bernoulli trial (or binomial trial) is a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted. [1] It is named after Jacob Bernoulli, a 17th-century Swiss mathematician, who analyzed ...
