What are statistics?
The word "Statistics" which comes from the Latin words status, meaning a political state, originally meant information useful to the state, for example, information about the sizes of population sand armed forces. But this word has now acquired different meanings.· In the first place, the word statistics refers to "numerical facts systematically arranged". In this sense, the word statistics is always used in plural. We have, for instance, statistics of prices, statistics of road accidents, statistics of crimes, statistics of births, statistics of educational institutions, etc. In all these examples, the word statistics denotes a set of numerical data in the respective fields. This is the meaning the man in the street gives to the word Statistics and most people usually use the word datainstead.· In the second place, the word statistics is defined as a discipline that includes procedures and techniques used to collect, process and analyze numerical data to make inferences and to research decisions in the face of uncertainty. It should of course be borne in mind that uncertainty does not imply ignorance but it refers to the incompleteness and the instability of data available. In this sense, the word statistics is used in the singular. As it embodies more of less all stages of the general process of learning, sometimes called scientific method, statistics is characterized as a science. Thus the word statistics used in the plural refers to a set of numerical information and in the singular, denotes the science of basing decision on numerical data. It should be noted that statistics as a subject is mathematical in character.· Thirdly, the word statistics are numerical quantities calculated from sample observations; a single quantity that has been so collected is called a statistic. The mean of a sample for instance is a statistic. The word statistics is plural when used in this sense.
How many sizes did octagon have?
It has infinitely many sizes.
Why have the measurements in dress sizes go up by two dress sizes?
Because the even numbers are "ladies" sizes. the odd numbers are "junior" sizes. It can be confusing, but "junior" dresses don't quite fit the more rounded ladies sizes. By the way? "Women's" sizes start at 18 and go up from there.
What are the different sizes of infinity?
There would be an infinite number of possible sizes.
How do the incident angle sizes and angle of reflection sizes compare?
They have the same measure.

How many counties are in Pennsylvania?

In a natural community population sizes vary because?
The populations all effect one another
What is ecological competition?
The simultaneous demand between two or more species-populations for a resource that is not abundant enough to support all of them at the sizes they would attain in the absence of the other species-populations.
How does wood cost?

When designing an experiment a benefit of larger sample sizes would be more?
Accurate estimates of various statistics.
How are changes in populations related to the availability of an ecosystems resources?
Population sizes are limited by the amount of resources that are available.
What kinds of populations are affected by genetic drift?
Genetic drift occurs in all finite populations. However the effects of drift are more pronounced in smaller populations than in large ones. Meanwhile, even though they are more present in smaller populations, the drifting is more likely to occur in larger populations because of the larger number of different genetic combinations present. Throughout evolution of populations, genetic drifting effects all types of population sizes, though it is more likely in larger populations but more present in smaller populations.
What is ecological unstable equilibrium?
an equilibrium point at which, if either population changes, the population sizes will diverge from, rather than return to, the equilibrium point; a combination of population sizes at which the two populations could coexist, but when the combination changed, no impetus exists to return to the equilibrium population sizes.
When does Interspecific competition occurs?
Interspecific competition occurs when two or more species-populations require some resource (typically food or space), but the resource is not abundant enough to support all of them at the sizes they would attain in the absence of the other species-populations.
How did the writers of the US Constitution treat states of different sizes?
In the House of Representatives, states of different sizes were given different numbers of delegates based on how big their populations were. In the Senate each state had the same representation (two senators) regardless of their size.
