  2. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    25.01, 25.1 are rounded to 26. In the example from "Double rounding" section, rounding 9.46 to one decimal gives 9.4, which rounding to integer in turn gives 9. With binary arithmetic, this rounding is also called "round to odd" (not to be confused with "round half to odd"). For example, when rounding to 1/4 (0.01 in binary),

    an abbreviated format from the "Acceptable date formats" table, provided the day and month elements are in the same order as in dates in the article body; the format expected in the citation style being used (but all-numeric date formats other than yyyy-mm-dd must still be avoided).

  4. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal ...

  5. Benford's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford's_law

    Many real-world examples of Benford's law arise from multiplicative fluctuations. [25] For example, if a stock price starts at $100, and then each day it gets multiplied by a randomly chosen factor between 0.99 and 1.01, then over an extended period the probability distribution of its price satisfies Benford's law with higher and higher accuracy.

  6. Round-robin scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling

    A Round Robin preemptive scheduling example with quantum=3. Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. [1] [2] As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) [3] are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).

  7. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    Let these events be called Event 2, Event 3, and so on. Event 1 is the event of person 1 having a birthday, which occurs with probability 1. This conjunction of events may be computed using conditional probability: the probability of Event 2 is ⁠ 364 / 365 ⁠, as person 2 may have any birthday other than the birthday of person 1.

  8. Decimal time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time

    The time of day is sometimes represented as a decimal fraction of a day in science and computers. Standard 24-hour time is converted into a fractional day by dividing the number of hours elapsed since midnight by 24 to make a decimal fraction. Thus, midnight is 0.0 day, noon is 0.5 d, etc., which can be added to any type of date, including (all ...
