relative

Examples of relative in the following topics:

• Relative

• Relative and Interrogative

• Relative

• Relative Frequency Distributions

  • A relative frequency is the fraction or proportion of times a value occurs.
  • The third column should be labeled Relative Frequency.
  • Cumulative relative frequency (also called an ogive) is the accumulation of the previous relative frequencies.
  • To find the cumulative relative frequencies, add all the previous relative frequencies to the relative frequency for the current row.
  • This graph shows a relative frequency histogram.

• Relative Deprivation Approach

  • Social scientists have cited 'relative deprivation' as a potential cause of social movements and deviance.
  • Social scientists, particularly political scientists and sociologists, have cited 'relative deprivation' (especially temporal relative deprivation) as a potential cause of social movements and deviance.
  • A specific form of relative deprivation is relative poverty.
  • A measure of relative poverty defines poverty as being below some relative poverty line, such as households who earn less than 20% of the median income.
  • Discuss the concepts of relative and absolute deprivation as they relate to social movements

• Einstein's Postulates

  • Special relativity is based on Einstein's two postulates: the Principle of Relativity and the Principle of Invariant Light Speed.
  • The Principle of Invariant Light Speed: The speed of light c is a constant, independent of the relative motion of the source and observer.
  • Einstein accepted the result of the experiment and incorporated it in his theory of relativity.
  • Imagine that you can throw a baseball at a speed v (relative to you).
  • His work on relativity, gavity, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics revolutionized physics.

• Relative Minor and Major Keys

  • A minor key is called the relative minor of the major key that has the same key signature.
  • Even though they have the same key signature, a minor key and its relative major sound very different.
  • It is easy to predict where the relative minor of a major key can be found.
  • What are the relative majors of the minor keys in Figure 4.23?
  • C minor is the relative minor of E flat major.

• Gallilean-Newtonian Relativity

  • In this context it is sometimes called Newtonian relativity.
  • Galilean relativity can be shown as follows.
  • Suppose S' is in relative uniform motion to S with velocity v.
  • It is this simple but crucial result that implies Galilean relativity.
  • But it is assumed to hold in absolute space, therefore Galilean relativity holds.

• Summary

• Sampling Distributions and Statistic of a Sampling Distribution

  • You can think of a sampling distribution as a relative frequency distribution with a great many samples.
  • (See Sampling and Data for a review of relative frequency).
  • The results are in the relative frequency table shown below.
  • If you let the number of samples get very large (say, 300 million or more), the relative frequency table becomes a relative frequency distribution.
