acoustic intensity is the average rate of flow of sound energy through unit area, or the average of the instantaneous power flow through unit area.

CONT

This source of noise is governed by the Poisson probability law which is based on the fact that the number of x-rays per unit area of the x-ray beam fluctuates continually at every location in the beam.

Subject field(s)
  • Statistics
CONT

If we consider the area under the curve as representing the sum of relative frequencies, i.e. as equal to 1 unit area, and the origin of the independent variable as located at the arithmetic mean of the distribution so that x represents a deviation from the mean, then the standard equation of the normal curve (of error) can be written in the form [given in the source].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Statistique
CONT

Si nous considérons l'aire limitée supérieurement par la courbe comme représentant la somme des fréquences relatives, c.-à-d. comme égale à 1 aire unitaire et l'origine de la variable indépendante comme située à la moyenne arithmétique de la distribution, de façon que x représente un écart par rapport à la moyenne, alors l'équation-type de la courbe normale peut être écrite [comme indiquée dans la source].
