  2. Coefficient of variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_variation

    The data set [100, 100, 100] has constant values. Its standard deviation is 0 and average is 100, giving the coefficient of variation as 0 / 100 = 0; The data set [90, 100, 110] has more variability. Its standard deviation is 10 and its average is 100, giving the coefficient of variation as 10 / 100 = 0.1

  3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

  4. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    As an example, Canada's net population growth was 2.7 percent in the year 2022, dividing 72 by 2.7 gives an approximate doubling time of about 27 years. Thus if that growth rate were to remain constant, Canada's population would double from its 2023 figure of about 39 million to about 78 million by 2050.

  5. Nines (notation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nines_(notation)

    For example, a percentage of 99.5% could be expressed as "two nines five" (2N5, or N2.5) [2] or as 2.3 nines, [citation needed] following from the logarithm definition. A percentage of 100% would, in theory, have an infinite number of nines – though, in the context of purity of materials, 100% is virtually unachievable. [3]

  6. Orders of magnitude (numbers) - Wikipedia

    1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.

  7. Cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer

    Traditional chemotherapeutic agents act by killing cells that divide rapidly, a critical property of most cancer cells. It was found that providing combined cytotoxic drugs is better than a single drug, a process called the combination therapy , which has an advantage in the statistics of survival and response to the tumor and in the progress ...

    The percentage shares of China, India and rest of South Asia of the world population have remained at similar levels for the last few thousand years of recorded history. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The world's literacy rate has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, from 66.7% in 1979 to 86.3% today. [ 3 ]
