@Huy Thank you

@Huy Thanks, I think I'm just going to have to memorise those statements and apply them as opposed to understanding it as false positive etc. I don't see how rejecting a hypothesis is a false positive since to me positive would be accepting a hypothesis.

I'm struggling to see how this scenario is a False Positive though as our hypothesis was correct and we rejected it. Whereas surely a false positive is where we accept a hypothesis that is incorrect??

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting my head round Type I and Type II errors. I understand Type I is false positive and Type II is false negatives. The part I'm struggling with is how the judicial example follows this. For instance if we say "innocent until proven guilty" then our hypothesis is "This man is innocent". If he is actually innocent and we reject this hypothesis then from what I have read this is a Type I error...

Hmmm I think I've just worked it out actually!

Would someone mind explaining this to me:
All primes greater than 3 can be written in the form 6k+/-1.

Not a bad idea in the past I have just wrote brute force programs and left them running until output but want to learn how the maths to make my future attempts better :)

Maybe looking up modular arithmetic will help

Thanks @AlexJBest I really struggle to spot the patterns and in the pdfs they often mention things I have heard of before but I guess like everything practice, practice, practice!

Hey everyone, I have a basic understanding of mathematics (A-Level) and want to keep learning. What resources would you suggest when wanting to solve problems such as those on project euler?

Could you explain how it is the area of a circle?
Jun 11, 2014 15:26
Ah great thanks guyz
Jun 11, 2014 15:22
@Studentmath Wait I thought 1+2+3+4+... = -1/12

What is the difference in creating a permission set like this to give a standard user all the admin rights and using the System Administrator profile? Surely this can be a method of reducing licenses used?
