  2. 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 ...

  3. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    [1] For example, the expression "5 mod 2" evaluates to 1, because 5 divided by 2 has a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1, while "9 mod 3" would evaluate to 0, because 9 divided by 3 has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Although typically performed with a and n both being integers, many computing systems now allow other types of numeric ...

  4. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    This is the smallest value for which we care about observing a difference. Now, for (1) to reject H 0 with a probability of at least 1 − β when H a is true (i.e. a power of 1 − β), and (2) reject H 0 with probability α when H 0 is true, the following is necessary: If z α is the upper α percentage point of the standard normal ...

  5. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    If the n + 1 digit is greater than 5 or is 5 followed by other non-zero digits, add 1 to the n digit. For example, if we want to round 1.2459 to 3 significant figures, then this step results in 1.25. If the n + 1 digit is 5 not followed by other digits or followed by only zeros, then rounding requires a tie-breaking rule. For example, to round ...

  6. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    The period of ⁠ c / k ⁠, for c coprime to k, equals the period of ⁠ 1 / k ⁠. If k = 2 a ·5 b n where n > 1 and n is not divisible by 2 or 5, then the length of the transient of ⁠ 1 / k ⁠ is max(a, b), and the period equals r, where r is the multiplicative order of 10 mod n, that is the smallest integer such that 10 r ≡ 1 (mod n).

  7. Ordinary differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation

    In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a differential equation (DE) dependent on only a single independent variable.As with other DE, its unknown(s) consists of one (or more) function(s) and involves the derivatives of those functions. [1]

  8. Effect size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size

    In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of a parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...

  9. Parity of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

    Since 1 is not prime, nor does it have prime factors, it is a product of 0 distinct primes; since 0 is an even number, 1 has an even number of distinct prime factors. This implies that the Möbius function takes the value μ(1) = 1, which is necessary for it to be a multiplicative function and for the Möbius inversion formula to work. [14]
