  2. Ogive (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogive_(statistics)

    The points plotted as part of an ogive are the upper class limit and the corresponding cumulative absolute frequency [2] or cumulative relative frequency. The ogive for the normal distribution (on one side of the mean) resembles (one side of) an Arabesque or ogival arch, which is likely the origin of its name.

  3. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    The ogive radius ρ is not determined by R and L (as it is for a tangent ogive), but rather is one of the factors to be chosen to define the nose shape. If the chosen ogive radius of a secant ogive is greater than the ogive radius of a tangent ogive with the same R and L, then the resulting secant ogive appears as a tangent ogive with a portion ...

    A secant ogive of sharpness = / = The ogive shape of the Space Shuttle external tank Ogive on a 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. An ogive (/ ˈ oʊ dʒ aɪ v / OH-jyve) is the roundly tapered end of a two- or three-dimensional object. Ogive curves and surfaces are used in engineering, architecture, woodworking, and ballistics.

    The resulting fixed drag curve models for several standard projectile shapes or types are referred to as the: G7 shape standard projectile. All measurements in calibers/diameters. G1 or Ingalls (flatbase with 2 caliber (blunt) nose ogive - by far the most popular) G2 (Aberdeen J projectile) G5 (short 7.5° boat-tail, 6.19 calibers long tangent ...

    For a fuselage the resulting shape was the Sears–Haack body, which suggested a perfect cross-sectional shape for any given internal volume. The von Kármán ogive was a similar shape for bodies with a blunt end, like a missile. Both were based on long narrow shapes with pointed ends, the main difference being that the ogive was pointed on ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogive_(disambiguation)

    An ogive is the roundly tapered end of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object. Ogive may also refer to: Ogives, a set of four piano pieces composed by Erik Satie; Ogive (glacier), a banding feature of a glacier; Eadgifu of Wessex, the daughter of Edward the Elder; Ogive (statistics), a graph showing the curve of a cumulative distribution ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    In the bottom-right graph, smoothed profiles of the previous graphs are rescaled, superimposed and compared with a normal distribution (black curve). Main article: Central limit theorem The central limit theorem states that under certain (fairly common) conditions, the sum of many random variables will have an approximately normal distribution.

    A chain hanging from points forms a catenary. The silk on a spider's web forming multiple elastic catenaries.. In physics and geometry, a catenary (US: / ˈ k æ t ən ɛr i / KAT-ən-err-ee, UK: / k ə ˈ t iː n ər i / kə-TEE-nər-ee) is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field.
