  2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...

  3. 0.999... - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

    If it can be proved that if a decimal of the form ⁠ ⁠... is a positive integer, then it must be 0.999..., which is then the source of the 9s in the theorem. [47] Investigations in this direction can motivate such concepts as greatest common divisors , modular arithmetic , Fermat primes , order of group elements, and quadratic reciprocity .

  4. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    Thus, even when using arguably the simplest nonlinear function, the square of a random variable, the process of finding the mean and variance of the derived quantity is difficult, and for more complicated functions it is safe to say that this process is not practical for experimental data analysis.

  5. Dimethyl sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_sulfide

    Dimethyl sulfide has a characteristic odor commonly described as cabbage-like.It becomes highly disagreeable at even quite low concentrations. Some reports claim that DMS has a low olfactory threshold that varies from 0.02 to 0.1 ppm [clarification needed] between different persons, but it has been suggested that the odor attributed to dimethyl sulfide may in fact be due to disulfides ...

  6. Oxalic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalic_acid

    It is the simplest dicarboxylic acid. It is a white crystalline solid that forms a colorless solution in water. It is a white crystalline solid that forms a colorless solution in water. Its name comes from the fact that early investigators isolated oxalic acid from flowering plants of the genus Oxalis , commonly known as wood-sorrels.

  7. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

    Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated haemoglobin relative to total haemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 96–100 percent. [1]

  8. Chi-squared distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_distribution

    The simplest chi-squared distribution is the square of a standard normal distribution. So wherever a normal distribution could be used for a hypothesis test, a chi-squared distribution could be used. Suppose that Z {\displaystyle Z} is a random variable sampled from the standard normal distribution, where the mean is 0 {\displaystyle 0} and the ...

  9. Mayo–Lewis equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayo–Lewis_equation

    One of the simplest methods for finding reactivity ratios is plotting the copolymer equation and using nonlinear least squares analysis to find the , pair that gives the best fit curve. This is preferred as methods such as Kelen-Tüdős or Fineman-Ross (see below) that involve linearization of the Mayo–Lewis equation will introduce bias to ...
