Simple random sampleIn statistics, a simple random sample (or SRS) is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a population) in which a subset of individuals are chosen randomly, all with the same probability. It is a process of selecting a sample in a random way. In SRS, each subset of k individuals has the same probability of being chosen for the sample as any other subset of k individuals. A simple random sample is an unbiased sampling technique. Simple random sampling is a basic type of sampling and can be a component of other more complex sampling methods.
Facteur de bruitLe facteur de bruit (noise figure ou noise factor en anglais) d'un dispositif électronique quelconque, actif ou passif, quantifie la dégradation relative du rapport signal sur bruit entre sa sortie et son entrée, et ce en prenant comme hypothèse que la température ambiante est de , donc que le bruit de fond en entrée est un bruit thermique correspondant à cette température de référence de . Autrement dit, le facteur de bruit est défini comme le quotient des rapports signal sur bruit en entrée et en sortie de ce même dispositif quand le bruit en entrée est un bruit thermique à la température normalisée To=.
Highway revoltHighway revolts (also freeway revolts, expressway revolts, or road protests) are organized protests against the planning or construction of highways, freeways, expressways, and other civil engineering projects that favor motor vehicles. Many freeway revolts took place in developed countries during the 1960s and 1970s, in response to plans for the construction of new freeways, as advocated for by the highway lobby.
