You need to work on your knowledge of mathematics/statistics. Percentages are meant to add up to 100. |

kodewrita: oga must everybody be sad on nairaland, its a simple joke with each point standing as an independent variable, am very sorry if i offended your maths history |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by Nobody: 10:11pm On May 27, 2011 |
netghost: He wasn't being sad; at first I reasoned along the same line as kodewrita until after a second look. I quite agree with your assumptions. LOL @ Social Engineers. Thief be Thief, which one kon be "Social Engineers"? |

kodewrita: i am trying my best not to get into any ignorant arguments on Nairaland, but its becoming impossible ,your above statement only proves that your highest degree was attained from a secondary school, and the years was poorly spent, __WHAT MORE CAN I SAY__ A percentage is simply another way of writing a fraction with a denominator of 100. For example, 23% = 23/100. am sure you are aware of improper fraction (a fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator), such as 4/3, so you can have what we might call an "improper percentage" like 120% or 300%, which is simply 120/100, There are situations in which a percentage greater than 100% makes no sense. EXAMPLE : james answered 134% of the question, This makes no sense because if we received 1000 questions, we couldn't possibly answer more than all of them. On the other hand, sometimes percentages are used like this: "The number of questions received was up 15.7%, from 5450 in February to 6305 in March." In other words, the increase from February to March was 6305-5450 = 855, and 855 is 15.7% of 5450. Now, what if the number of questions received went up to 14000 in April? This would be an increase of 122% from March to April. IN DAFT TERMS: PERCENTAGE SIMPLY MEANS DIVIDED BY 100 *HOPEFULLY NO OFFENCE WILL BE TAKEN * |

So use that explanation to rewrite what you wrote below and make it clearer. just quoting percentages makes no sense if you dont explain clearly. as for the issue of percentages going above 100, there's usually an accompanying explanation or the context is usually clear e.g "the value of the stock soared 600% in 2010". Not just quoting numbers like a layman: Nairaland Members 90% market sellers, 30% PDP. BE CLEAR, thats it. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by netghost: 7:49am On May 28, 2011 |
kodewrita: My bad i guess , i just assumed it would be taken for a joke, next time i wil be more clear |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 4:34pm On May 29, 2011 |
So how'd this thread pass for a joke with all this serious talk about percentages? |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by Sophizzy(f): 6:53pm On May 29, 2011 |
I ba o. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by netghost: 9:32pm On May 29, 2011 |
lysaa: LOL no vex bro, its suppose to be in the programming section, but seun out of his wisdom decided to move it here, probably cos he saw the joke word mentioned |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by mikuz(m): 11:39pm On May 29, 2011 |
netghost:lysaa na bro? |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by netghost: 11:46pm On May 29, 2011 |
mikuz:LOL just assumed she was a boy, probably why seun moved a programming thread to jokes @lysaa, |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 12:07am On May 31, 2011 |
Thats a character assassination that i wouldn't condone! |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by mikuz(m): 12:12am On May 31, 2011 |
lysaa:please don't condone it! Don't allow this Me self,i can't even bear it. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 12:14am On May 31, 2011 |
Thanks but i'll pass. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by mikuz(m): 12:22am On May 31, 2011 |
lysaa:TRIPLE H STYLEE. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 12:25am On May 31, 2011 |
I am too graced to do that. .don't [i]d[/i]is it pls. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by jackpot(f): 6:39am On May 31, 2011 |
netghost: you explained bullshit. You dont even know mathematics at all. Let me reply him for you. Replying>> |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by jackpot(f): 6:48am On May 31, 2011 |
kodewrita:percentages add up to 100% when they are mutually exclusive events of a sample space. In other words, for instance, a bernoulli event in which there are only 2 possibilities: success or failure. There is nothing in their intersection. In netghost's assessment, there maybe Kiddies who are Engineers and Phreaks at the same time. So the percentages overlaps themselves cos they are not mutually exclusive events. You have gotten it or should I go further? |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by mikuz(m): 7:43am On May 31, 2011 |
^ yeah go further please. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 2:06pm On May 31, 2011 |
So what part of the thread did jackpot quote that from? That's statistics and it states the eluded sense! |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by netghost: 7:10pm On May 31, 2011 |
jackpot: your just an ignorant daft, and am tired of kids trying to live of my knowledge, am sure you were not born when i was teaching maths at an advance level, your probably one of the every day morons that think they know maths because they have gone through some few textbooks or are good at given back what they are given you in school jackpot: your completely right here, but i clearly stated that each stands as an independent variable, so pls read before you start blabbing and trying to help where you are not need, NOTE: the answer i gave him was based on the assumption that he made that percentages must sum up to a hundred, if you are still arguing towards that line, am sorry to say this, YOU NEED A BRAIN |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by jackpot(f): 7:31pm On May 31, 2011 |
NETGHOST, look at the question kodewrita asked you. kodewrita: @ NETGHOST you should have told him why in your first post the percentages didn't add up to 100% instead of talking about percentages and improper fractions. Now replying your bashy post, I don't need to prove to you that I am an authority in Mathematics. I don't teach Maths to JS and SS Students. For now, I hold group discussions for my fellow PG students. Our levels are being taught by Doctors and Profs only. Check out my courses Applicable Functional Analysis Theory of Distribution and Sobolev Spaces Topology Advanced Optimization Operations Research Theory of P.D.E. Non-linear Operators in Banach Spaces et al. NETGHOST I challenge you to give me any problem in Higher Mathematics, I would give you a solution ASAP. Maths is my course. I am ready for your Q's. Please i am waiting. We can even YIM if you want. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 7:31pm On May 31, 2011 |
Teachers don't teach me nonsense. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by mikuz(m): 7:35pm On May 31, 2011 |
lysaa:i swear i am a better |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 7:38pm On May 31, 2011 |
Lol. Nor be my head o. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by jackpot(f): 7:45pm On May 31, 2011 |
lysaa:Statistics people fear mathematicians. We use Analysis to mess with them. They only know Probabilities and the like. Engineering Students can Integrate and Differentiate almost anything, bring Analysis and they will run! Even most Professors in Applied Maths do fear to supervise a Student writing Thesis on Analysis. Lysaa, i am proud to be a Mathematician. An upcoming one. Doc. within 5 years is my target. Lol |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by netghost: 7:54pm On May 31, 2011 |
jackpot: i would have, if he had asked in a polite manner, nairaland is becoming more of a place where u insult and embarrass people rather than gaining knowledge while having fun, kodewrita: thats what i responded to jackpot: Children, always trying to prove something, i no be maths teacher oh, Abeg oh dude i develop softwares for companies, build sites, when i have nothing doing i mentor people based on programming, and when am done with being a GEEK i hangout with girls and my close friends, if you think me and you will be on nairaland proving maths. , get a life |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 7:57pm On May 31, 2011 |
Just because i applauded ur sense in math shouldn't make ur head swell. It was right on point where they eluded the strength of the matter. Didn't call for an unlease of qualifications and prospect. |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by mikuz(m): 8:01pm On May 31, 2011 |
lysaa:i tire o! The guy is just rude and arrogant at the same time! Posing with a scanty pride! |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by lysaa(f): 8:10pm On May 31, 2011 |
One question: are u jealous of his quals |
Re: Programming Section Based On My Measurement by jackpot(f): 8:19pm On May 31, 2011 |
netghost:stop cursing brother. MATHEMATICIANS were the brain behind Computer Invention. Focus on your expertise bro. I have one problem with computer programmers why do they keep using the incremental algorithm x = x + 1 such equations don't make sense in Maths. Lol. It's like saying 0 = 1 |
