    B Chi square test (two-sided vs. one-sided)

    From what I've seen of online comments on math fora, a chi-square test is two-sided. I interpreted that as to mean that if our ##H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2##, a chi-square test only allows to infer ##\mu_1 \ne \mu_2##. Correct? If yes, can we use the fact that the computed ##\mu_1 < \mu_2## to make the...

    A A very peculiar emergent definition of gravity

    Newtonian gravity is the force law such that for any mass M, the circular orbit of any test particle m at a distance equal to the Compton length of M has the same areal speed, independent of M and m. I wonder, have you seen this sort of definition online in the literature? I guess that...

    Solve the problem that involves Binomial distribution and hypothesis test

    For this problem, the steps are quite clear. My question would be on the highlighted part, clearly we are told ##n=2## as claim from supplier then why did they consider other ##n## values? that is, ##n=1## and ##n=0## to give us, ##[P,X=2] = 0.002918+0.017764 + 0.053292 = 0.07397562## why did...

    Automotive Examination of an automotive crash test

    Given { KE=.5M(v^2)} the act of ramming a car into an immovable barrier and the loss in speed from first contact and when the car totally stops, can be described as exponential in nature. Just like that of a Capacitor discharge curve. is that plausible, or for that matter solid accurate?

    B Bell inequality test without polarisation?

    Was trying to understand the inequality test. The only article ever that I've found that explains it simply is the 1981 article, Bringing home the atomic world: Quantum Mysteries For Anybody. All other explanations require trust and understanding of polarisation, which is a huge deal. So i now...

    POTW A Test for Absolute Convergence of a Series

    Let ##\{a_n\}_{n = 1}^\infty## be a sequence of real numbers such that for some real number ##p > 1##, ##\frac{a_n}{a_{n+1}} = 1 + \frac{p}{n} + b_n## where ##\sum b_n## converges absolutely. Show that ##\sum a_n## also converges absolutely.

    Why Does My Varactor Diode Test Circuit Behave Differently on a Breadboard?

    In the circuit simulator there is no voltage at the Varactor cathodes when Vbias is zero, but depending on the Varactor I use on the breadboard it can be as high as 7.4 volts! There is minimal current through the series resistor when Vbias is applied in LTSPICE, but I always see a significant...
