My teaching of it helps grow in me a strong inclination to give a talk about the following three aspects: a. The American individualism; b. Its quiet surroundings; c. The American people’s attitude toward work. My impression of them has helped me in my understanding of the American culture and its language, so I hope my paper will produce the similar effect on other English learners.展开更多

Therefore, the main goal of this work was to derive formulas for the permissible deviations of the above frequencies (confidence intervals). For this, a previously developed method was used, which represents an alternative to the traditional approach. The alternative formula expressing the Newcomb-Benford law is re-derived. As shown in general form, it is numerically equivalent to the original Benford formula. The obtained formulas for confidence intervals for Benford’s law are shown to be useful for checking arrays of numerical data. Consequences for numeral systems with different bases are analyzed. The alternative expression for the frequencies of digits at the second decimal place is deduced together with the corresponding deviation intervals. In general, in this approach, all the presented results are a consequence of the positionality property of digital systems such as decimal, binary, etc.展开更多
