In statistics, pi represents the population proportion of successes. Using p, the sample proportion of successes, inferences can be made about pi, although it is usually unknown.
A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. We generally separate the two numbers in the ratio with a colon (:). Suppose we want to write the ratio of 8 and 12.We can write this as 8:12 or as a fraction 8/12, and we say the ratio is eight to twelve while A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a statement that two ratios are equal.3/4 = 6/8 is an example of a proportion.When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross products may be used to find the unknown number. This is called solving the proportion. Question marks or letters are frequently used in place of the unknown number.
