Numerical Methods


Numerical Method

Numerical methods almost never fail to provide an answer to any particular situation, but they can never furnish a general solution of any problem. The mathematical details outlined here include both analytic and numerical techniques useful in obtaining solutions to problems. Our discussion to this point has been confined to those areas in which the governing laws are well known. However, in many areas, information on the governing laws is lacking. Interest in the application of statistical methods to all types of problems has grown rapidly since World War II. Broadly speaking, statistical methods may be of

use whenever conclusions are to be drawn or decisions made on the basis of experimental evidence. Since statistics could be defined as the technology of the scientific method, it is primarily concerned with the first two aspects of the method, namely, the performance of experiments and the drawing of conclusions from experiments.

Traditionally the field is divided into two areas:
  1. Design of experiments. When conclusions are to be drawn or decisions made on the basis of experimental evidence, statistical techniques are most useful when experimental data are subject to errors. The design of experiments may then often be carried out in such a fashion as to avoid some of the sources of experimental error and make the necessary allowances for that portion which is unavoidable.
  2. Second, the results can be presented in terms of probability statements which express the reliability of the results. Third, a statistical approach frequently forces a more thorough evaluation of the experimental aims and leads to a more definitive experiment than would otherwise have been performed.
  3. Statistical inference. The broad problem of statistical inferenceis to provide measures of the uncertainty of conclusions drawnfrom experimental data. This area uses the theory of probability,enabling scientists to assess the reliability of their conclusions in termsof probability statements.
Both of these areas, the mathematical and the statistical, are intimately intertwined when applied to any given situation. The methods of one are often combined with the other. And both in order to be successfully used must result in the numerical answer to a problem—that is, they constitute the means to an end. Increasingly the numerical answer is being obtained from the mathematics with the aid of computers.

Statistic Problem

1. Known the number of ball n(s) = 100 Ask: The change take a ball with number divisible by 5 but not divisible by 3 if taken randomly. Answer: For example A = ball with number divisible by 5 but not divisible by 3 n(A) = 14, namely 5, 10, 20, 25, 35, 40, 50, 55, 65, 70, 80, 85, 95 and 100 P(A) = n(A)/n(s) = 14/100 = 7/50 2. Known: One badminton team consist of 5 members, will decide 2 people play a single players, and 2 pairs to play double. Ask: How many option can be made. First Way Solution: For example 5 people of badminton team are A, B, C, D, and E. Then we choose A and B to play single. Option Single Double 1 A, B CD, AE 2 A, B CE, AD 3 A, B  DE, AC 4 A, B CD, BE 5 A, B CE, BD 6 A, B DE, BC The option number when A and B choose as single player are 6 option. The way to choose player as single player are 10, namely AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE, and DE. From one option of single player will make 6 option so for all way to choose single

A simple formula from pythagoras is calculatef of each side on right triangle as follows: C 2 = A 2 + B 2 Where : C = the incline side length A and B = other triangle side length. For Example calculation can see on picture below: For your excercise please do the following problem: Calculate the length of the hypotenuse if the lenght elbow side 6 and 8? Calculate the length of one side of the elbow if the length of the hypotenuse = 10 and the other 4?
