How is Round (11) equal to 3? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2015年5月22日 · One interpretation is that 11 11 in base 2 is 112 = 1 ⋅21 + 1 ⋅20 = 3 11 2 = 1 ⋅ 2 1 + 1 ⋅ 2 0 = 3. That doesn't explain why they would write it with Round (∙ ∙) though. The common interpretations of "Round" are to take to the nearest integer. Are you sure it wasn't Round (11 4 11 4)? Or Round (π π)?
Why do we generally round 5's up instead of down?
2013年3月5日 · WE do this because when you round, generally it is with decimals that are rational or long. When there is 5.000000000000000001, it is better to round up. So, lets say you have the square root of 26 (5.09901951359) It's close to 6 than to 4. When rounding, you can't have 5.090919534243123 whatever to round down because decimals cant go down.
combinatorics - Circle method scheduling algorithm for a round …
2019年11月12日 · Suppose you have an odd number n n of players. Add an extra player n + 1 n + 1, and apply the circle scheduling algorithm to generate a round robin for n + 1 n + 1 players. Whoever plays against player n + 1 n + 1 sits still that round. You get the nicest solution if player n + 1 n + 1 is the one that stays at the same spot.
Why, when rounding, do we round 5 up to 10? [duplicate]
2021年6月20日 · 5 5 is as close to 10 10 as it is to 0 0. So that doesn't decide the issue. But if you always round these borderline cases up, or you always round them down, then you increase the rate that rounding errors accumulate over a sequence of calculations.
Why is $0.5$ rounded up to $1.0$? It's not closer to $1$ than $0$?
2018年4月26日 · Also note that there are other conventions used, for example some programming languages round .5.5 away from 0 0. Another custom is to round .5.5 to the nearest odd/even number.
Should I round a decimal number of people up or down?
2018年12月19日 · The end result is that it depends on the question. There are certainly scenarios where you would want to round up, and other scenarios where you would want to round down, and other scenarios still where you might want to leave it as a decimal and not round at all. Consider the following three questions: We have ten people in a class.
Round table seating logic question. - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The chairs are all different, the view of the room is different. It is only by convention that we identify circular permutation with seating at a round table. And even if we are at the centre of a round room with all views identical, nothing prevents one from putting labels on the chairs to solve a probability problem.
How to calculate a Modulo? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2018年2月28日 · I really can't get my head around this "modulo" thing. Can someone show me a general step-by-step procedure on how I would be able to find out the 5 modulo 10, or 10 modulo 5. Also, what does t...
