What is the relation between mean median and mode for a symmetrical distribution?
What is the relation between mean median and mode for a symmetrical distribution? In a perfectly symmetrical distribution, the mean and the median are the same. This example has one mode (unimodal), and the mode is the same as the mean and median. In a symmetrical distribution that has two modes (bimodal), the two modes […]

How many degrees are in a kilometer?
How many degrees are in a kilometer? The answer may depend upon location on earth. Near the equator, 1km is going to equal roughly 0.008 degrees (1 km / 40,000 km * 360 degrees) of latitude and longitude, but near the poles, 1km is going to equal roughly 0.008 degrees latitude, but could be many […]

Which lens has the shortest focal length?
Which lens has the shortest focal length? The shortest focal length, or “ultra wide-angle”lenses, range from 14mm to 20mm, and are followed by “wide-angle” lenses from 24mm to 35mm, and then “standard” lenses from 45 to 70mm, which are similar to the field of view of the human eye. Why is 35mm so popular? This […]
