What is the maximum likelihood estimator of the Cauchy distribution?
Maximum likelihood estimators of the Cauchy distribution cannot be written in closed form since they are given as the roots of higher-degree polynomials. Please see the link for details.
What are the factors and prime factors of 35035?
Factor out each term by term to get:
5 x 7007
= 5 x 7 x 1001
= 5 x 7 x 13 x 77
= 5 x 7² x 11 x 13
What type of logic did George Boole invent in the 19th century?
He invented what is now simply known as Boolean logic. It is what is used in modern computers.
What is 40 increased by 3 percent?
40 increased by 3 percent = 41.2
= 40 + (3% * 40)
= 40 + (0.03 * 40)
= 40 + 1.2
= 41.2
What does evenly and doubly even mean?

How much did blaise pascal sell the calculators?

Why is a 6cm by 8 cm by 10cm triangle a right angle triangle using Pythagoras theorum?
The Pythagorean theorem only applies to right triangles. It states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. If a is 6 and b is 8, then 36 + 64 = 100, which is 10^2.
What strategies can be used to divide whole numbers?
mentally solve whole number multiplication and division problems using: ... Dividing by 8 is like dividing by 2 then 2 then 2 so half 136 is 68 and half 68 is 34 and ... The following questions can be used to elicit discussion about the strategy
It has nothing to do with agreement or negotiation. There's only
one order of operations that leads to the correct outcome.
What is the probability of choosing a card that is not a ace but that is divisible by 2?

Can Someone Decrypt this Please 4B 50 7B F1 F4 F5 5E 50 7B F1 F4 F5 5E 4B 4B 4B?
My first thoughts are to try and recognize any clearly discernible 'pattern'...
It appears the patterns I can, quite clearly, see here are...
1> A series of 2 digit numbers; with each of these paired numbers being seperated up by a space. Pairs of numbers are also known as being called, 'digraphs'.
2> Looks like being HEX code, possibly; because base 16 hexadecimal code uses numbers: 0-9/and, also, digits A-F; and, these numbers all seem to fit well within that same specific number/alphabet letter category range.
16 Hexadecimal digit numbers/(0-15):
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
...of course, I could also be going all entirely wrong here...?! Anyway, I'm not going any further than this. I'll leave somebody else to go do the rest.../or else, leave it up to somebody else to, at least, correct me...???
