WGU C955 - Applied Probability and Statistics Terms in this set (49) quotient CORRECT ANSWER;The result of a division expression. discrete CORRECT ANSWER;A collection of numbers whose values are distinct, separate, and unconnected. factorization CORRECT ANSWER;The process of determining the prime factors of a composite number. additive inverse CORRECT ANSWER;Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line whose sum is 0. For example, 3 and -3 are additive inverses. perfect square CORRECT ANSWER;The product of any integer with itself yields a perfect square. So, a number is a perfect square if it can be written as the square of an integer. For example, 9 is a perfect square because 3 * 3 = 9. sum CORRECT ANSWER;The result of multiple numbers being added together. addition CORRECT ANSWER;Finding the total of two or more values. continuous CORRECT ANSWER;A collection of numbers whose values are not dividable into distinct units. interval CORRECT ANSWER;A set of numbers between two specified values. multiplication CORRECT ANSWER;In mathematics, multiplication is the act of adding the same number multiple times. Multiplication is often denoted by the dot sign, ·. rational number CORRECT ANSWER;A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of integers, which means it can be written as a fraction. subtraction CORRECT ANSWER;Taking one or more values away from another. factor tree CORRECT ANSWER;A graphical method used to identify the prime factorization of an integer. set CORRECT ANSWER;In mathematics: a collection of numbers. multiplicative inverse CORRECT ANSWER;The multiplicative inverse of a number x is the number you must multiply x by to get 1. For example, 5 and 1/5 are multiplicative inverses. order of operations CORRECT ANSWER;A set of rules that defines the order in which mathematical operations should be performed prime factorization CORRECT ANSWER;Determining the set of prime numbers whose product is the original integer. CORRECT ANSWER;parentheses In mathematics, parentheses () are used to separate operations within an expression. Any operations that lie within parentheses should be performed first. integer CORRECT ANSWER;A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented without a fractional or a decimal component. prime number CORRECT ANSWER;A number with only two factors: one and itself. identity property CORRECT ANSWER;The property that 0 can be added to any number without changing the value of the number. Likewise, 1 can be multiplied by any number without changing the value of that number. radical sign CORRECT ANSWER;The symbol which indicates to take the square root of the number that follows
