  2. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    Similarly, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6:8 (or 3:4) and the ratio of oranges to the total amount of fruit is 8:14 (or 4:7). The numbers in a ratio may be quantities of any kind, such as counts of people or objects, or such as measurements of lengths, weights, time, etc. In most contexts, both numbers are restricted to be positive. A ratio ...

  3. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    The percent value is computed by multiplying the numeric value of the ratio by 100. For example, to find 50 apples as a percentage of 1,250 apples, one first computes the ratio ⁠ 50 / 1250 ⁠ = 0.04, and then multiplies by 100 to obtain 4%. The percent value can also be found by multiplying first instead of later, so in this example, the 50 ...

  4. Section formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_formula

    In coordinate geometry, the Section formula is a formula used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally. [1] It is used to find out the centroid, incenter and excenters of a triangle. In physics, it is used to find the center of mass of systems, equilibrium points, etc. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  5. False positive rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive_rate

    The false positive rate is = +. where is the number of false positives, is the number of true negatives and = + is the total number of ground truth negatives.. The significance level used to test each hypothesis is set based on the form of inference (simultaneous inference vs. selective inference) and its supporting criteria (for example FWER or FDR), that were pre-determined by the researcher.

  6. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The square gets sent to a rectangle circumscribing the ellipse. The ratio of the area of the circle to the square is π /4, which means the ratio of the ellipse to the rectangle is also π /4. Suppose a and b are the lengths of the major and minor axes of the ellipse. Since the area of the rectangle is ab, the area of the ellipse is π ab/4.

  7. Ratio distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_distribution

    The ratio distribution of correlated complex variables, rho = 0.7 exp(i pi/4). The graph shows the pdf of the ratio of two complex normal variables with a correlation coefficient of = ⁡ (/). The pdf peak occurs at roughly the complex conjugate of a scaled down .

  8. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  9. Ratio estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_estimator

    Tin (1965) [18] described and compared ratio estimators proposed by Beale (1962) [19] and Quenouille (1956) [20] and proposed a modified approach (now referred to as Tin's method). These ratio estimators are commonly used to calculate pollutant loads from sampling of waterways, particularly where flow is measured more frequently than water quality.
