	A tolerance limit is 0.5%		2017-01-06
		From Joe: Dear Sir/Madam, How can I describe the following. My volume tolerance limit is 0.5%,regardless of quantity. Say , My total volume output is 344,714 Litres and benchmark volume is 348,194 Difference of 3480Litres, this would give me a percentage of 0.999. Which is above my tolerance. How can I explain this high tolerance limit even though volume difference is minimal. Regards Joe Answered by Penny Nom.

	The derivative using limits		2009-04-21
		From Kirstin: I am trying to take the limit of f(x) = [f(x+h)-f(x)] / h If you try taking the limit by substituting the limiting value h=0, you get 0/0, which of course is not the right answer. You rewrite f(x+h)-f(x) so it has a factor of h in it, which you cancel with the h in the denominator before you substitute h=0. But I am not sure how to do this. Thanks. Answered by Robert Dawson.

		From Frank: given the function: f(x) = (x2) / (x-1) the correct answer to the limit of f(x) as x approaches infinity is: y = x+1 all math references point to this answer and the method they all use is long division of x-1 into x2 however if one were to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1/x and then take the limit, one gets: y=x how can the descrepency between the two answers be explained?

	The Central Limit Theorem		1997-04-21
		From Donna Hall: A skeptic gives the following argument to show that there must be a flaw in the central limit theorem: We know that the sum of independent Poisson random variables follows a Poisson distribution with aparameter that is the sum of the parameters of the summands. In particular, if n independentPoisson random variables, each with parameter 1/n, are summed, the sum has a Poisson distributionwith parameter 1. The central limit theoren says the sum tends to a normal distribution, butPoisson distribution with parameter 1 is not normal. What do you think of this argument? Answered by Neal Madras.
