/sci/ - Science & Math

From 1 to 10.

You aren't being clever, you're being a dick.

>>5856102
doesnt make a difference.

1 < x < 10

1 and 10 are not inclusive

>>5856091
because most people are not technical assholes.

>Making such a terrible pun

Pick between fuck off and die

>>5856107
theres nothing technical about it.

if i were to say: give me a city between new york city and philadelphia.

you would say new york city?

I think he means that if you pick 1 or 10, you have the least possible chances of getting the correct number. 5 or 6 gives the best possible chance. If there are two people x and y are competing for the closest to a number and x says 1, y says 2 and has 90% chance to win, as opposed to x who has 10%.

but there are no integers between 1 and 10

>>5856113

>>5856111

Because same as the reason most people say Three Hundred and Twenty to mean 320. It's not correct in the strict sense, but when people speak a language in an informal setting they rarely do it 100% correctly.

>>5856113
Not from a mathematical point if view. As far as picking the exact number 1 and 10 have the same as everything else 1/10.

Of course you were probably thinking closest to number, in which case every other number is touching at least 1 more number than 1 or 10.

Or perhaps you were thinking of the human tendency to pick around 5 anyway...not very /sci/ though.

>>5856132
>i want to be taken seriously.

>>5856140
I NEVER say three hundred AND twenty. i was taught in elementary school that this was incorrect. it irks me everytime someone does it though.

OP here, btw.

Because ambiguity of natural language and lack of autisms.

.999.....=/= 1

>>5856147

No shit, I'd be surprised if anyone on this board said it that way. I'm just explaining to you why others do it. Also the answer to your question is in the question. People are retarded.

>>5856147
For one, not everyone is a native speaker. And even worse, some native speakers may have extensive contact with non-natives and so pick up on their bad habits.

Just like some like to use seemingly meaningful words like "irregardless".

Why are people retarded and answer anything to such question? It could be in base-2 for all you know.

>>5856372

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.
Guess what it is.

>>5856374
▲?

>Pick a number

>implying free will

>>5856384

You must choose.

>>5856147
What's wrong with three hundred and twenty?

Should I just say three hundred twenty?

>>5856427
>three hundred and twenty
300 and 20
>three hundred twenty
320

Because the question is asking pick between the two choices presented why wouldn't you?

Lol, I've actually been teaching myself C for a few months now.

>>5856114

2 is between 1 and 10, if you're Russian.

i don't understand why "three hundred and twenty" is incorect, but "three hundred twenty" is correct.

as far as i know, when there is a word problem, "and" means to add. Also, when you don't put anything between two numbers, aka: "three hundred" you multiply. "(3)(100)"

so "three hundred twenty" = (3)(100)(20) = 6000
else "three hundred and twenty" = (3)1(100)+20 = 320

if i am wrong, please explain where my logic went wrong?

>>5856567
they are both correct.

e

>>5856487
so 360?

>>5856091

Because they are not inhibited by severe autism like you are.

The only answers worse than 1 or 10 are pi or e. Fucking teenaged hipsters think they're cool for using non-integers and of course the only ones they can think of are the ones they learned in middle school math class.

>>5856091
Well, 1.1 would also work.

why are you asking questions that you already know the answer to? hence "retarded so they will do retarded things". sage.

>>5856473
The number is CALLED three hundred AND twenty. No matter what kind of pseudoscience bullshit you come up with, it doesn't change.

>>5857189
>The number is CALLED three hundred AND twenty in MY trailer park
... three hundred twenty elsewhere.

>>5856140
>>5856147
Perhaps not where you're from. but in the UK you'd be taught not to say "three hundred twenty", or whatever you say instead.
There are multiple conventions, and your way of doing it isn't correct, just different.

I always just say inclusive. People think it's dumb but it clears it up for smartasses.

>>5857232
There is no english speaking country where it's known as three hundred twenty, I'm sorry.

>>5856473
>three hundred and twenty
300+20 = 320
>three hundred twenty
320
doesn't fucking matter as long as people understand you

>>5857292
Well it matters in the sense that if you say "three hundred twenty" people are going to think you're some sort of retard.

>>5857328
I think most people will not be aspies about it and not give a fuck
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/153_(number)
one hundred (and) fifty-three

>>5856374

B

Moot point and both are correct nowadays. However, historically the 'and' would have been wrong as it used to indicate in spoken language the location if the decimal (e.g. one hundred and one was 100.1 while one hundred one was 101).

>>5856105
The word 'from' is inclusive. "From one to ten" is 1 <= x <= 10

>benford's law

>>5856091
op is an idiot. it is general convention that 1 and 10 is included in the range

>>5856091
I tend to pick 4 or 7 if it's of any interest.

>>5856091
Wow. You must be fun at parties.

>>5858736
>argumentum ad hominem

>>5857292

3*100*20=6,000

It's not the same.

>>5856114
who ever said integer?

>>5856147
just how we don't use the following notation: <span class="math"> 2 \times 3 = 6[/spoiler]

That is not a number.

If /sci/ is so smart, why does it get le trolled so fucking much?

>>5857419
>The word 'from' is inclusive.

What about the word 'to'?

>>5862010

Yep. If you go to the grocery, and don't go in, people will think you are goofy.

>>5856147

perhaps you're just an autist or king of the assburger

>>5856625

and walk away.

>>5862016
what if you go 'to the grocery' dressed as a gigantic banana, but are actually just dancing around on the sidewalk in front of the entrance as an "advertising agent"?

>>5862591

So you dress at home? Excellent!

>>5856091
10 - 1/n with n -> infinity are you now happy :D
