Simple Example
For example, the quantile function for Exponential(λ) (i.e. intensity λ and expected value 1/λ) is
for 0 ≤ p < 1. The quartiles are therefore:
- first quartile
- median
- third quartile

Famous quotes containing the word simple:
“All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
