  2. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    For a number written in scientific notation, this logarithmic rounding scale requires rounding up to the next power of ten when the multiplier is greater than the square root of ten (about 3.162). For example, the nearest order of magnitude for 1.7 × 10 8 is 8, whereas the nearest order of magnitude for 3.7 × 10 8 is 9.

  3. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    Rounding to a specified multiple. The most common type of rounding is to round to an integer; or, more generally, to an integer multiple of some increment – such as rounding to whole tenths of seconds, hundredths of a dollar, to whole multiples of 1/2 or 1/8 inch, to whole dozens or thousands, etc.

  4. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    The IEEE standard uses round-to-nearest. Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also ...

  5. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    Round half to even, which rounds to the nearest even number. With this method, 1.25 is rounded down to 1.2. If this method applies to 1.35, then it is rounded up to 1.4. This is the method preferred by many scientific disciplines, because, for example, it avoids skewing the average value of a long list of values upwards.

  6. Percentile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile

    Each standard deviation represents a fixed percentile. Thus, rounding to two decimal places, −3σ is the 0.13th percentile, −2σ the 2.28th percentile, −1σ the 15.87th percentile, 0σ the 50th percentile (both the mean and median of the distribution), +1σ the 84.13th percentile, +2σ the 97.72nd percentile, and +3σ the 99

    For the fourth question of Rs. 1,00,00,000, the correct answer was revealed only if the contestant's range missed the question. And if the question was answered correctly, the contestant was then given the chance to win Rs.100,000,000 by picking the exact percentage (rounded to the nearest 1%) out of that 10% range (11 choices in all).

    A minute of arc is ⁠π 10 800⁠ of a radian . A second of arc, arcsecond (arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [ 2] is ⁠ 1 60 ⁠ of an arcminute, ⁠ 1 3600⁠ of a degree, [ 1] ⁠ 1 1 296 000⁠ of a turn, and ⁠π 648 000⁠ (about ⁠ 1 206 264.8⁠) of a radian. These units originated in Babylonian astronomy as ...

    1 3 = 1 up 1; 2 3 = 8 down 3; 3 3 = 27 down 1; 4 3 = 64 down 3; 5 3 = 125 up 1; 6 3 = 216 up 1; 7 3 = 343 down 3; 8 3 = 512 down 1; 9 3 = 729 down 3; 10 3 = 1000 up 1; There are two steps to extracting the cube root from the cube of a two-digit number. For example, extracting the cube root of 29791. Determine the one's place (units) of the two ...
