One formula, and what each piece is called The denominator comes from the law of total probability: P(E) = ΣP(E|Hᵢ)P(Hᵢ). It's the normalising sum over every hypothesis you're considering. The medical test that catches everyone out Updating

Magnitude AND direction A vector carries both a size and a direction. A scalar carries only size. Speed is a scalar: 60 km/h. Velocity is a vector: 60 km/h north. Draw them as arrows. The length is the magnitude, the way it points is the di
Two kinds of sequence Arithmetic sequences Note the (n − 1): the first term hasn't had d added to it yet. Sum of the first n terms: Geometric sequences Why geometric growth feels different Arithmetic sequences trace a straight line. Geometr
A tally shows 4 marks for apples and 7 marks for bananas. How should the banana bar compare to the apple bar?
AThe banana bar should be the same height as the apple barBThe banana bar should be taller than the apple barCThe banana bar should be shorter than the apple barDNo bar is needed for bananas
What is the polar coordinate system, and what do r and θ represent?1 / 7
Instead of locating a point by horizontal and vertical distances (x, y), polar coordinates locate it by a distance and an angle: r is the distance from the pole (the origin), and θ is the angle measured counterclockwise from the polar axis (the positive x-axis).
Which of these best describes a direct proof of 'If P then Q'?
AAssume P is true and derive Q through a chain of stepsBAssume Q is false and derive that P must also be falseCAssume the conclusion is false and search for a logical impossibilityDCheck every possible value of the variables one at a time
