What is the mathematical term constant mean?

A constant is a number that is always the same. Simple examples would be numbers such as pi, which is ~3.14159...

Keep in mind though, while pi is endless, a constant doesn't have to be. It's just a number that doesn't change, so to speak.

What is the median when 19 and 20 are in the middle?

Whenever there are an even number of items in your data set, the algebraic mean of the 2 middle numbers is the median. So in this case 19.5

How can finding out that a hypothesis is not true be for scientists?

Remember that a hypothesis is a 'good' guess about a question. If a scientist comes up with a hypothesis, she will test it and then see if the testing will say 'yes'. She will then do these many times and if the answer still is 'yes' she will have it published. Many others in the same field will then review that data and they will add to the information or they may not agree.

What is a mean median or mode?

The median is the middle number of any given set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two.

Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68)

The median is 20.

In any given set, the mode is the number that appears most often. If no number appears more frequently than any other, there is no mode. It is also possible to have more than one mode.

Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68)

This set has no mode.

In any given set, the arithmetic mean is the average, which is the sum total of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are.

Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68)

68 + 45 + 20 + 17 + 10 = 160

There are 5 numbers in this set.

160/5 = 32

The mean is 32.

How do you find the mode if the amount of numbers seen are equal?

Then there is no mode. There can only be a mode if one number occurs most often.

What is it called when there is no relationship between the data sets?

relationless - or you just would not say anything about the non-relation. If you don't have a car are you carless? If you don't have a swimming pool are you poolless?

How do you do mode with all different numbers?

add all the numbers together and divid by how many numbers you added

What does the negative exponent mean in 5.3 x 10-4 mean?

The negative exponents means that it is the reciprocal of the positive equivalent. Thus 10-4 = 1/104 = 0.0001

So 5.3*10-4 = 5.3*0.0001 = 0.00053

What is the circumference of a cylinder 638mm in diameter and 1312mm in height?

d = 638mm

r = 319mm

h = 1312mm

Circumference of a Cylinder = 4*pi*r units

= 4*3.1415*319 mm

= 4008.554 mm

What does pimary mean?
