What does Parenteses mean in a mathematical term?

Parentheses, or brackets, are often used as a way of indicating that the operation within the parentheses must be evaluated before other operations. Parentheses take top priority in the order in which operations are carried out (PEMDAS in US, BIDMAS in UK).

Why do we study the median?

The median is a more robust measure than the average, which means it is more resilient to the effects of outliers in your dataset.

What is the pascle triangle?

Pascal's Triangle is an illustration of the coefficients of a binomial expansion. (There are also other patterns within the triangle, but it is primarily taught in relation to binomial expansion.) Each row begins and ends with the number one. The elements in each row are the sum of the two numbers above it in the previous row and continues indefinitely: 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1

How many fish can you have in a seventy two gallon fish tank?

depends on the size of the fish, the filtration, if it is salt or fresh... lots of variables.

A very rough estimate has always been 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.

What does uberstar mean?

Uberstar is the xbox live gamertag for a particularly skilled gamer.

How many 5 digit numbers can be made only using the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 with out repeating a number twice example 12345 12354 12435?

The first number can be selected 5 ways, the second 4 ways, the third three ways, the fourth two ways and the fifth one way so total number of ways is

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 ways

What is the probability of getting an a from Alabama?

There are four a's in ALABAMA. The probability of choosing an a from a random draw of those seven letters is 4 in 7, or about 0.5714.

If you are talking about getting a grade of A from a school in Alabama, that is entirely up to you and to how well you apply yourself.

How does the number of repetitions effect the shape of the normal distribution?

When we discuss a sample drawn from a population, the larger the sample, or the large the number of repetitions of the event, the more certain we are of the mean value.

So, when the normal distribution is considered the sampling distribution of the mean, then more repetitions lead to smaller values of the variance of the distribution.

What is the biggest nine digit number?

The biggest nine digit number would consist fully of '9's: 999,999,999

Explain how can you plot favorite colors of a sixth-grade class on a line plot?

There are several answers which suggest this is simple but, as far as I can see, it is not. The height of the line must be the number of pupils who pick a particular colour but what about the "horizontal" axis. Should the order be red, blue, green? or red, green, blue? And why? Is the distance between red and blue the same as the distance between blue and green? Again, why - or why not? If you restrict yourself to the electromagnetic spectrum for visible light (rainbow colours), where would black and white and brown and purple go?

The three primary colours (red, green and blue) can be used to generate other colours and so these three components can be used as "coordinates" to define any basic colour. But even this is not enough to distinguish between red and pink (=red+white). To do that you would need to add three more dimensions - hue, saturation, luminance.

In the first case you could plot the information as a surface (not a line) in 4-dimensional space where the 3 independent variables are the amount or red, blue and green in the colour and the dependent variable is the pupil count. In the second case, you need a 7-dimensional space! Easy? I think not!

For an example of the RGB combinations, select format -> font -> font colour in Word, then select more colours and then custom. The default there is the RGB combination. The alternative is HSL.

How many digits is on 70 billlion?

The number seventy billion is written 70,000,000,000 - eleven digits in total.
