Choose questions individually, practise online, or create a worksheet with matching answers. Counts include generated variants, not only authored originals.
They can be detected over larger volumes
Detectability depends on luminosity and distance.
0.3
Recovery fraction is 30/100 for this injection sample.
Consistent timing and location with coincidence analysis
Association requires evidence against accidental coincidence.
The signal may lie below sensitivity or outside coverage. Upper limits and selection effects describe what the observation actually constrains.
Credit detection thresholds and observational coverage.
4 counts
44−40=4; significance needs an uncertainty model.
Its importance depends on noise, uncertainty, correlations and the number of comparisons. A residual needs a reference distribution or appropriate uncertainty scale.
Credit uncertainty and context.
A detected sample is shaped by observing limits and selection criteria. It need not represent the full source population without correction.
