Examples of unbounded interval in the following topics:
-
- The two numbers are called the endpoints of the interval.
- Bounded intervals are also commonly known as finite intervals.
- Conversely, if neither endpoint is a real number, the interval is said to be unbounded.
- For example,
the interval $(1,10)$ is considered bounded; the interval $(- \infty, + \infty)$ is considered unbounded.
- The set of all real numbers is the only interval that is unbounded at both ends; the empty set (the set containing no elements) is bounded.
-
- Consider an integer $N$ and a non-negative function $f$ defined on the unbounded interval $[N, \infty )$, on which it is monotonically decreasing.
-
- An Improper integral is the limit of a definite integral as an endpoint of the integral interval approaches either a real number or $\infty$ or $-\infty$.
- The original definition of the Riemann integral does not apply to a function such as $\frac{1}{x^2}$ on the interval $[1, \infty]$, because in this case the domain of integration is unbounded.
- The narrow definition of the Riemann integral also does not cover the function $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$ on the interval $[0, 1]$.
- The problem here is that the integrand is unbounded in the domain of integration (the definition requires that both the domain of integration and the integrand be bounded).
- The integral may need to be defined on an unbounded domain.
-
- In renal physiology, the clearance is a measurement of the renal excretion ability, which measures the amount of plasma from which a substance is removed from the body over an interval of time.
- For example, certain pharmaceuticals have the tendency to bind to plasma proteins or exist unbound in plasma.
- Only those that are unbound will be filtered and cleared from the body.
-
- A careful eye might have observed the somewhat awkward language used to describe confidence intervals.
- Incorrect language might try to describe the confidence interval as capturing the population parameter with a certain probability.
- Another especially important consideration of confidence intervals is that they only try to capture the population parameter.
- Our intervals say nothing about the confidence of capturing individual observations, a proportion of the observations, or about capturing point estimates.
- Confidence intervals only attempt to capture population parameters.
-
- To invert any interval, simply imagine that one of the notes has moved one octave, so that the higher note has become the lower and vice-versa.
- Because inverting an interval only involves moving one note by an octave (it is still essentially the "same" note in the tonal system), intervals that are inversions of each other have a very close relationship in the tonal system.
- To name the new interval, subtract the name of the old interval from 9.
- The inversion of a major interval is minor, and of a minor interval is major.
- The inversion of an augmented interval is diminished and of a diminished interval is augmented.
-
- An augmented interval is one half step larger than the perfect or major interval.
- A diminished interval is one half step smaller than the perfect or minor interval.
- To find the inversion's number name, subtract the interval number name from 9.
- Inversions of major intervals are minor, and inversions of minor intervals are major.
- Inversions of augmented intervals are diminished, and inversions of diminished intervals are augmented.
-
- And combining quality with a generic interval produces a specific interval.
- Note that both generic interval and chromatic interval are necessary to find the specific interval, since there are multiple specific diatonic intervals for each generic interval and for each chromatic interval.
- The intervals discussed above, from unison to octave, are called simple intervals.
- Any interval larger than an octave is considered a compound interval.
- A compound interval takes the same quality as the corresponding simple interval.
-
- Because intervals are dependent upon the pitches that create them, the consonance and dissonance of intervals in tonal music is determined by tonality itself.
- In the context of G minor, this is a consonant interval.
- Thus, the interval from G4 to A-sharp5 = +15.
- The ordered pitch interval from G4 to B-flat5 is +15, but the ordered pitch interval from A-sharp5 to G4 is -15.
- Using various combinations of pitch interval, pitch-class interval, ordered, and unordered, we arrive at four different conceptions of interval.
-
- State why a confidence interval is not the probability the interval contains the parameter
- These intervals are referred to as 95% and 99% confidence intervals respectively.
- An example of a 95% confidence interval is shown below:
- If repeated samples were taken and the 95% confidence interval computed for each sample, 95% of the intervals would contain the population mean.
- It is natural to interpret a 95% confidence interval as an interval with a 0.95 probability of containing the population mean.
