Tables, Radiativity Diagrams
Table1
A table of this would be computer as follows
X:1,2,3,4
FX:4,6,8,10
F(X-Xbar):10,8,6,4
Table2
A table like this would be computed as follows
Particulars: maintenance,salaries &wages,
Purchase of
Drugs, total
Amount: 2500,1000,2000,5500
Logarithm Table
Tabulate
No:92.63, Log:1.9667
No: 2.914, Log: 0.4645
2.4312
Antilog = 269.9
Therefore 92.63*2.914=2.4312
Radiativity Diagram
means
(238)U(92)=>(234)Th(90) + (4)He(2)
This is computed as follows
