  2. Statistical significance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance

    Statistical significance. In statistical hypothesis testing, [1][2] a result has statistical significance when a result at least as "extreme" would be very infrequent if the null hypothesis were true. [3] More precisely, a study's defined significance level, denoted by , is the probability of the study rejecting the null hypothesis, given that ...

  3. p-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value

    p. -value. In null-hypothesis significance testing, the -value[note 1] is the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the result actually observed, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is correct. [2][3] A very small p -value means that such an extreme observed outcome would be very unlikely under the null hypothesis.

    If the null hypothesis is valid, the only thing the test person can do is guess. For every card, the probability (relative frequency) of any single suit appearing is 1/4. If the alternative is valid, the test subject will predict the suit correctly with probability greater than 1/4. We will call the probability of guessing correctly p. The ...

  5. Benford's law - Wikipedia

    Thus, the probability that a number starts with the digits 3, 1, 4 (some examples are 3.14, 3.142, π, 314280.7, and 0.00314005) is log 10 (1 + 1/314) ≈ 0.00138, as in the box with the log-log graph on the right. This result can be used to find the probability that a particular digit occurs at a given position within a number.

  6. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_normal_table

    Standard normal table. In statistics, a standard normal table, also called the unit normal table or Z table, [1] is a mathematical table for the values of Φ, the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution. It is used to find the probability that a statistic is observed below, above, or between values on the standard normal ...

  7. Letter frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency

    0.44%. 0.44. Letter frequency is the number of times letters of the alphabet appear on average in written language. Letter frequency analysis dates back to the Arab mathematician Al-Kindi (c. 801 –873 AD), who formally developed the method to break ciphers. Letter frequency analysis gained importance in Europe with the development of movable ...

  8. Word n-gram language model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_n-gram_language_model

    A word n-gram language model is a purely statistical model of language. It has been superseded by recurrent neural network –based models, which have been superseded by large language models. [1] It is based on an assumption that the probability of the next word in a sequence depends only on a fixed size window of previous words.

  9. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

    A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.
