    It is unknown whether these constants are transcendental in general, but Γ(⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) and Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) were shown to be transcendental by G. V. Chudnovsky. Γ( ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ ) / 4 √ π has also long been known to be transcendental, and Yuri Nesterenko proved in 1996 that Γ( ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ ) , π , and e π are algebraically ...

    For example, in duodecimal, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ = 0.6, ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ = 0.4, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ = 0.3 and ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ = 0.2 all terminate; ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ = 0. 2497 repeats with period length 4, in contrast with the equivalent decimal expansion of 0.2; ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠ = 0. 186A35 has period 6 in duodecimal, just as it does in decimal.

  5. Decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠, 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n, whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.

  6. Decibel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

    The decibel originates from methods used to quantify signal loss in telegraph and telephone circuits. Until the mid-1920s, the unit for loss was miles of standard cable (MSC). 1 MSC corresponded to the loss of power over one mile (approximately 1.6 km) of standard telephone cable at a frequency of 5000 radians per second (795.8 Hz), and matched closely the smallest attenuation detectable to a ...

  7. Sampling fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_fraction

    In sampling theory, the sampling fraction is the ratio of sample size to population size or, in the context of stratified sampling, the ratio of the sample size to the size of the stratum. [1] The formula for the sampling fraction is =, where n is the sample size and N is the population size. A sampling fraction value close to 1 will occur if ...

  8. Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem

    Given that the item is defective, the probability that it was made by machine C is 5/24. C produces half of the total output but a much smaller fraction of the defective items. Hence the knowledge that the item selected was defective enables us to replace the prior probability P(X C) = 1/2 by the smaller posterior probability P(X C | Y) = 5/24.
