Je voulais savoir d'où provient le signe # ?! 2008-01-17
Dimitri pose la question :
Je voulais savoir d'où provient le signe # ?! On l'appelle diez, sur les téléphones surtout, mais j'aimerai savoir plus précisément à quoi sert ce signe (autre que sur nos appareils) ! Et pourquoi, en anglais, s'il est placé avant un chiffre, on dit 'number' (par exemple #1, 'Number one'). Son origine m'interesse tout autant que son utilité !

The definition of percent ( % ) 2015-03-07
Kenneth pose la question :
Hello:

I saw this definition online from the Free Dictionary (The Free Dictionary.com) regarding the definition of percent (%):

"Noun 1. a percent sign - a sign (`%') used to indicate that the number preceding it should be understood as a proportion multiplied by 100."

What is this "proportion" multiplied by 100?

When I think of a proportion, I think of a/b = c/d. How can a number preceding the percent sign be understood as a proportion X 100? I thank you for your reply!

A statistical difference 2007-07-03
a student pose la question :
I am writing a paper for a grad class in which I am comparing achievement levels of boys and girls. I have data that shows the average marks for girls and boys in each grade 12 subject for the entire province. My prof want me to show there is a statistical difference. What do I have to do to show this? I don't have access to the raw data, so don't know the SD. Is there anything I can do mathematically with the data that I have? (I can determine n for each set of data, it ranges between 2400 and about 13000 for each subject area.)

Octagonal Stop Sign 2006-10-23
Phil pose la question :
My colleagues and I are in a discussion about how many true "sides" an octagonal stop sign has. I say that it has 10 true sides because of the front back sides of a stop sign (3D octagon). Is this correct terminology or should the front and back "sides" be referred to as faces -- equaling 2?
