    Class Frequency
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on constructing a frequency distribution from data representing time spent reading a political blog. Participants are tasked with creating a table that includes five classes, midpoints, relative frequencies, and cumulative frequencies. The key question is identifying which class has the greatest and least frequency. However, there is confusion regarding the specific data being referenced, as it has not been provided in the thread. Clarity on the data source is essential for accurate analysis and conclusions.

The data represent the​ time, in​ minutes, spent reading a political blog in a day. Construct a frequency distribution using 5 classes. In the​ table, include the​ midpoints, relative​ frequencies, and cumulative frequencies. Which class has the greatest frequency and which has the least​ frequency?

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
