    This table was built from left to right, but it is possible to continue building it from right to left down a diagonal in order to compute more values. To calculate p(5) use the values from the lowest diagonal. Start with the fourth column constant value of 4 and copy it down the column.

    Some engineering students and engineers carried ten-inch slide rules in belt holsters, a common sight on campuses even into the mid-1970s. Until the advent of the pocket digital calculator, students also might keep a ten- or twenty-inch rule for precision work at home or the office [24] while carrying a five-inch pocket slide rule around with them.

    The respective tables of data were generally developed by using the more complex transfer function method to determine the various cooling loads for different types of heating. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The results gained by doing so are then normalized for each type of heat gain used for the tables, CLTD, CLF, and SCL.

  9. Conditional probability table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability_table

    In statistics, the conditional probability table (CPT) is defined for a set of discrete and mutually dependent random variables to display conditional probabilities of a single variable with respect to the others (i.e., the probability of each possible value of one variable if we know the values taken on by the other variables).
