  2. Guess 2/3 of the average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_2/3_of_the_average

    Guess 2/3 of the average. In game theory, " guess 2 3 of the average " is a game that explores how a player’s strategic reasoning process takes into account the mental process of others in the game. [1] In this game, players simultaneously select a real number between 0 and 100, inclusive. The winner of the game is the player (s) who select a ...

  3. Infinite monkey theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

    Because almost all numbers are normal, almost all possible strings contain all possible finite substrings. Hence, the probability of the monkey typing a normal number is 1. The same principles apply regardless of the number of keys from which the monkey can choose; a 90-key keyboard can be seen as a generator of numbers written in base 90. History

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    The base-10 logarithm of a normalized number (i.e., a × 10 b with 1 ≤ a < 10 and b as an integer), is rounded such that its decimal part (called mantissa) has as many significant figures as the significant figures in the normalized number. log 10 (3.000 × 10 4) = log 10 (10 4) + log 10 (3.000) = 4.000000...

    On scientific calculators, it is usually known as "SCI" display mode. In scientific notation, nonzero numbers are written in the form. or m times ten raised to the power of n, where n is an integer, and the coefficient m is a nonzero real number (usually between 1 and 10 in absolute value, and nearly always written as a terminating decimal ).

    The proof given below is a direct formalization of the intuitive fact that, if one draws , , , etc. on the number line, there is no room left for placing a number between them and 1. The meaning of the notation 0.999... is the least point on the number line lying to the right of all of the numbers 0.9 {\displaystyle 0.9} , 0.99 {\displaystyle 0 ...

    1000 is the element of multiplicity in a toroidal board in the n -Queens problem, [8] with respective indicator of 25 [9] and count of 51. [10] [11] 1000 is the number of strict partitions of 50 containing the sum of no subset of the parts.

  8. Random permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_permutation

    Random permutation. A random permutation is a random ordering of a set of objects, that is, a permutation -valued random variable. The use of random permutations is often fundamental to fields that use randomized algorithms such as coding theory, cryptography, and simulation. A good example of a random permutation is the shuffling of a deck of ...

  9. Palindromic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindromic_number

    A palindromic number (also known as a numeral palindrome or a numeric palindrome) is a number (such as 16461) that remains the same when its digits are reversed. In other words, it has reflectional symmetry across a vertical axis. The term palindromic is derived from palindrome, which refers to a word (such as rotor or racecar) whose spelling ...
