    The formula can be understood as ... The Bayes estimator is asymptotically efficient and as the sample size ... The addition of 0.5 is the continuity correction; the ...

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    Conversely, if is a normal deviate with parameters and , then this distribution can be re-scaled and shifted via the formula = / to convert it to the standard normal distribution. This variate is also called the standardized form of X {\textstyle X} .

  4. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    Since the sample mean and variance are independent, and the sum of normally distributed variables is also normal, we get that: ^ + ˙ (+, + ()) Based on the above, standard confidence intervals for + can be constructed (using a Pivotal quantity) as: ^ + + And since confidence intervals are preserved for monotonic transformations, we get that

  5. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The sample mean of | W 200 | is μ = 56/5, and so 2(200)μ −2 ≈ 3.19 is within 0.05 of π. Another way to calculate π using probability is to start with a random walk , generated by a sequence of (fair) coin tosses: independent random variables X k such that X k ∈ {−1,1} with equal probabilities.

  6. Tin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin

    Sample of cassiterite, the main ore of tin Tin is generated via the long s -process in low-to-medium mass stars (with masses of 0.6 to 10 times that of the Sun ), and finally by beta decay of the heavy isotopes of indium .

    Although in the local (primarily thin) disk of the Milky Way there is no evidence of a strong AMR, [60] a sample of 229 nearby "thick" disk stars has been used to investigate the existence of an age–metallicity relation in the Galactic thick disk, and indicate that there is an age–metallicity relation present in the thick disk.

  8. Rebreather diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather_diving

    In rebreather diving, the typical effective endurance of the scrubber will be half an hour to several hours of breathing, depending on the type and size of the scrubber, the absorbent characteristics, the ambient temperature and pressure, the operational mechanics of the rebreather, and the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the diver, which ...
