  2. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    First, calculate the deviations of each data point from the mean, and square the result of each: ... using the size of the sample as the size of the population ...

  3. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    So for an algorithm of time complexity 2 x, if a problem of size x = 10 requires 10 seconds to complete, and a problem of size x = 11 requires 20 seconds, then a problem of size x = 12 will require 40 seconds. This kind of algorithm typically becomes unusable at very small problem sizes, often between 30 and 100 items (most computer algorithms ...

  4. Maximum sustainable yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_sustainable_yield

    [8] [25] Biologists, for example, do not always have enough data to make a clear determination of the population's size and growth rate. Calculating the point at which a population begins to slow from competition is also very difficult.

  5. Tolerance interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_interval

    A tolerance interval (TI) is a statistical interval within which, with some confidence level, a specified sampled proportion of a population falls. "More specifically, a 100×p%/100×(1−α) tolerance interval provides limits within which at least a certain proportion (p) of the population falls with a given level of confidence (1−α)."

  6. Pooled variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pooled_variance

    In statistics, pooled variance (also known as combined variance, composite variance, or overall variance, and written ) is a method for estimating variance of several different populations when the mean of each population may be different, but one may assume that the variance of each population is the same. The numerical estimate resulting from ...

  7. Percentile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile

    The dark blue zone represents observations within one standard deviation (σ) to either side of the mean (μ), which accounts for about 68.3% of the population. Two standard deviations from the mean (dark and medium blue) account for about 95.4%, and three standard deviations (dark, medium, and light blue) for about 99.7%.

  8. Plant density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_density

    Plant density is defined as the number of plants present per unit area of ground. In nature, plant densities can be especially high when seeds present in a seed bank germinate after winter, or in a forest understory after a tree fall opens a gap in the canopy.

  9. Civilian noninstitutional population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_noninstitutional...

    The data series can be obtained from the Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED). As of September 2014, there were 248,446,000 persons in the civilian noninstitutional population [2] out of a U.S. population of approximately 320 million. [3] It has steadily grown along with the U.S. population, roughly 1% per year for 2005-2013 period.
