Are all of these equations consistent with garbage = infinity? | Are all of these equations consistent with garbage = infinity? | ||
: Unfortunately, as written, these equations would not make sense by defining Garbage as an infinity. Infinity is not a number you can count to or measure in between integers. Infinity is the idea of unending-ness. Trying to use infinity as if it a finite number yields all sorts of invalid results. In this case Garbage is defined as an arbitrary finite number with a large amount of uncertainty in its value.

Would the summation divided by ''n'' just give you the arithmatic mean of the data set?
