Click For Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the distance from point (b,0) to the final destination (10,0) after a person has walked from (0,0) to (10,0). The individual stopped between points (a,0) and (b,0), with a distance of 2m separating these two points. To find the distance from (10,0) to (b,0), the formula used is 10 - b. This calculation is essential for understanding the remaining distance to the final destination. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise distance measurements in this context.

A person walked a distance of 10m from (0,0) to (10,0) - final distnation; prior to reaching final distancetion he stopped betwen 2 points (a,0) and (b,0). The distance between (a,0) and (b,0) is 2m. I need to know the distance between (10,0) and (b,0) Please check graph attached

Distance between (10,0) and (b,0) is 10-b
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
