2015-16 Semester I IB Review Questions
... A group of students has measured the heights of 90 trees. The class calculate the mean height to be x = 12.4 m with standard deviation s = 5.35 m. One student notices that two of the measurements, 44.5 m and 43.2 m, are much too big and must be wrong. (a) How many standard deviations away from the m ...

Yablo`s paradox
... Loosely speaking, δ is a function that produces an object which ‘diagonalizes’ out of X whilst remaining in Ω (for subsets of Ω in the family characterized by θ ). Contradiction arises if we apply δ to the limit structure, Ω, itself. For we then get δ(Ω) ∉ Ω but δ(Ω) ∈ Ω. In Priest 1995 it is shown ...

Arithmetic Progression and Geometric Progression

We usually use the symbol an to represent a sequence, where n is a natural number and an is the value of the function on n. Intuitively, a sequence is just an ordered list of (possibly ...

Unit 6: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

What does it mean to raise something to the ...

Ambiguity
Ambiguity is a type of uncertainty of meaning in which several interpretations are plausible. It is thus an attribute of any idea or statement whose intended meaning cannot be definitively resolved according to a rule or process with a finite number of steps. (The ambi- part of the name reflects an idea of ""two"" as in two meanings.)The concept of ambiguity is generally contrasted with vagueness. In ambiguity, specific and distinct interpretations are permitted (although some may not be immediately apparent), whereas with information that is vague, it is difficult to form any interpretation at the desired level of specificity.Context may play a role in resolving ambiguity. For example, the same piece of information may be ambiguous in one context and unambiguous in another.
