A Proper Factor

A factor is a whole number which divides exactly by another whole number is called factor for  that number Any of the factors of a number, except the number itself. A factor is a portion of a number in general  integer or polynomial when multiplied by other factors  gives  entire quantity. The determination of factors is a factorization A proper factor of a positive integer is a factor of other than 1.Proper factor is a multiples for a given whole number which has multiples again it is aproper factor.Every whole number which has a factor of its own.proper factor is like a normal factor except 1
For example,
For 6, 2 and 3 are proper factors of , but 1 and 6 are not a proper factor.

Properties of proper factor:

The divisors for a any number other than 1 and  number itself are called  factors for that number.
A factor for N number is a number which divides  exactly N.

Example: the factors for 24 are 1,2,3,4,6,and 12

Generally for every number has itself and 1 as its factors.
When a number is greater than 1 and by itself and 1 as factors, then the number is prime.
A number or quantity that when multiplied with another number produces a given number or expression.

Equivalent Scale Factor

A scale area is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y=Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a equivalent scale factor of 2 for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor of ½.

Example problems of equivalent scale factor:

Equivalent scale factor problem 1:
Find the scale factor to the following figure:

Equivalent scale factor solution:
If we want to find the length of smaller rectangle then we can multiply the length of the one side of larger rectangle and the value of scale factor.
We can find the scale factor of the given rectangles by using the following formula,
Let D_l be the dimensions of larger rectangle and D_s be the dimensions of smaller rectangle and s be the scale factor.
Therefore the formula as,
                D_l*s=D_s
Substitute the values of dimensions into the above formula. Then we get
                  30*s=24
Divide by the value 30 on both sides,
                   `(30s)/30` `=` `24/30`
                       ` s ` `=` `24/30`
Divide by the value of 6 on both numerator and denominator. Then we get the value of scale factor.
                        s = `4/5 ` or 4:5
Therefore scale factor of smaller to larger rectangle= 4:5
Answer: 4:5
Equivalent scale factor problem 2:
Find the larger to smaller scale factor for the following figure:

Equivalent scale factor solution:
If we want to find the length of smaller rectangle then we can multiply the length of the one side of larger rectangle and the value of scale factor.
We can find the scale factor of the given rectangles by using the following formula,
Let D_l be the dimensions of larger rectangle and D_s be the dimensions of smaller rectangle and s be the scale factor.
Therefore the formula as,
                D_l*s=D_s
Substitute the values of dimensions into the above formula. Then we get
                  39*s=26
Divide by the value 48 on both sides,
`(39s)/(30)` `=` `26/39`
` s ``=` `26/39`
Divide by the value of 13 on both numerator and denominator. Then we get the value of scale factor.
                        s = `2/3` or 2:3
Therefore scale factor of larger to smaller scale rectangle= 3:2
Answer: 3:2

Mode and Median Calculator

Mode: Mode is the value that takes place most repeatedly in the data set. Measure of central tendency is known as mode. If the data’s are given in the form of a frequency table, the class corresponding to the maximum frequency is called the modal class. The value of the variate of the modal class is the mode.

Median: The median is the middle value when the given values are arranged in an ascending order. Let us see the median and mode calculator.

Median and Mode calculator:

In the calculator enter the set of values in first box, after that clcik the median button it will automatically calculate the median value and it will be displayed in answer box. The same process is done for mode.

Examples on Mode calculator:

Example 1:

            Find the mode of 7, 4, 5, 1, 7, 3, 4, 6, and 7.

Solution:

           The above question is entered in the first box. The calculator doing the follwing process,

           Assemble the data in the ascending order, we get

            1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7.

            The number 7 occurs many times in the above values.
            Mode = 7 will display the answer box after press the mode button on calculator.
Example 2:

            Find the mode for 12, 15, 11, 12, 19, 15, 24, 27, 20, 12, 19, and 15.

Solution:

           The above question is entered in the first box. The calculator doing the follwing process,

           Assemble the data in the ascending order, we get

            11, 12, 12, 12, 15, 15, 15, 19, 19, 20, 24, 27.

            In the above values 12 occurs 3 times and 15 also occurs 3 times.

            ∴ Both 12 and 15 are the modes for the given data. We observe that there are two modes for the given data.The Mode will be displayed in answer box on calculator
Example 3:

            Find the mode of 19, 20, 21, 24, 27, and 30.

Solution:
            Already the above data are in the ascending order. Each value occurs exactly one time in the series. Hence there is no mode in the above given data.
These are the examples on mode calculator.

Examples on Median calculator:

Example 1:    
            Find the median of the following numbers: 12, 45, 62,10,14,31 and 43.
Solution:
           The above question is entered in the first box. The calculator doing the fololwing process,
            Arranging the given numbers in ascending order we get
            10, 12, 14, 31, 43, 45 and 62.
                            `darr`
                    Middle term
            Median = Middle item = 31.     

         The median 31 will display the answer box

            The above question is entered in the first box. The calculator doing the following process,
            Arranging the given numbers in ascending order we get
            3, 4, 5, 7, `darr` 10, 16, 21, 22              
                 Median is here
            Median = Item midway between 7 and 10
                       =` (7 + 10) / 2` = `17 / 2` = 8.5
          The Median 8.5 will display on answer box on calculator
These are the examples on mode and median calculator.

Sine Geometry

Trigonometry is the division of geometry dealing among relationships among the sides also angles of triangles. In geometry sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse. The  ratio does not depend on size of the particular right triangle chosen, as long as it contains the angle A, since all such triangles are similar

(Source: Wikipedia)

I like to share this sine curves with you all through my article. 

Sine geometry

In the above diagram ,
sin A =opposite/hypotenuse
Examples for sine geometry

A - Right angle of the triangle ABC.
The length of AB, BC and CA are frequently represented through c, a, b.
Obtain point B as middle of a trigonometric circle
Circle with radius = 1.
Now sin (B) are comparative to b, c also a.
sin `(B)/b` =`1/a`
sin (B) = `b/a`

Examples for sine geometry

Example 1
Angle of triangle is 20⁰, opposite side of triangle is 12 apply the sine geometry to find the unidentified side of the triangle?
Solution:

Angle of triangle= 20⁰  

Opposite side of triangle = 12.

sin A =opposite/hypotenuse

sin 20⁰ = `12/x`

sin 20⁰ x = 12

x = `12/sin 20^0`

x =`12/0.3420`    {since the value of sin 20 degree is 0.3420}

x=35.08

Hypotenuse side= 35.08

Example 2
Angle of triangle is 78⁰, hypotenuse side of triangle is 20 apply the sine geometry to find the unidentified side of the triangle?
Solution:

Angle of triangle= 78⁰  

Hypotenuse side of triangle = 20.

sin A =opposite/hypotenuse

sin 78⁰ = `x/20`

sin 78⁰ x 20= x

x = sin 78⁰ x20

x =0.97814x20     {since the value of sin 78 degree is 0.97814}

x=35.08

Opposite side = 19.56

Example 3
If hypotenuse side of triangle 40 and opposite side of triangle 20 find the sine angle?
Solution:

Hypotenuse side of triangle = 40.

Opposite side =20

sin A =opposite/hypotenuse

sin A= `20/40`

sin A =` 1/2`

sin A = 0.5    {sin 30 degree is 0.5}

Therefore the angle is 30 degree

Interval Estimates

Interval Estimate:

• Interval estimation is the process of calculate the interval for possible value of unknown parameter in the population.
• It is calculate in the use of sample data and contrast to the point estimation. It is different from the point estimation. It is the outcome of a statistical analysis.

The most common forms of interval estimations as follows:

• A frequents Method or Confidence interval
• A Bayesian method or credible intervals

The other common methods for interval estimations are

• Tolerance interval
• Prediction interval

And another one is known as the fiducial inference.

Construction of interval estimates parameter:

The normal form of interval estimate of the population parameter is,

• Point estimate of parameter and
• Plus or minus margin of error

Margin of error:

• The amount which is subtracted or added from  the point estimate  of the statistic and produce the parameter interval  estimate is known as the margin of error.
• The margin of error size depends on the following factors:
• Sampling distribution type of sample statistics.
• Area under sampling distribution percentage   that includes the researchers      decision.Usually we consider the confident level as 90%, 95%, 99%.
• The interval of each interval estimates are constructed in the region of the point estimate with its confident level.

My forthcoming post is on Set Interval Notation will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Construction of Interval estimate for Population mean

• Take the point estimate of μ  that is  the sample mean`vecx`
• Define  the mean distribution for the sample.When the  value of n is large we  have to use the central limit  theorem. And   is the normal distribution with the,

                      standard deviation `sigma``vecx` = `sigma/sqrt(n)`  

                      and mean μ.

• Choose the most common confident  level as 95%
• Find the margin of  error  which is related with the confidence level.
• The area  under the curve of  the sample means the normal distribution contains the 95%  of the interval from.

                               z= -1.96 to z= 1.96 

• The interval estimate for 95 % is,   

                            `vecx`- 1.96 (`sigma/sqrt(n)` ) to `vecx``sigma/sqrt(n)`

Common Factors

The common factors of two or more whole digits is the biggest whole digit that equally divides all the whole digits. There are two methods to find common factors in math.

The initial method is to list all the factors of each digit. Then decide the biggest factor.

For Example:

Find the common factors of 12 and 18.

The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.

The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18.

The common factors of 12 and 18 are 1, 2 and 3.
