Examples of exhaustive in the following topics:

  • Complementary Events

    • The event $A$ and its complement $[\text{not}\ A]$ are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, meaning that if one occurs, the other does not, and that both groups cover all possibilities.
    • Generally, there is only one event $B$ such that $A$ and $B$ are both mutually exclusive and exhaustive; that event is the complement of $A$ .
    • There are no other possibilities (exhaustive), and both events cannot occur at the same time (mutually exclusive).
    • Since we can only either chose blue or red (exhaustive) and we cannot choose both at the same time (mutually exclusive), choosing blue and choosing red are complementary events, and $P(\text{blue}) + P(\text{red}) = 1$.
    • However, being prime or being composite are not exhaustive because the number 1 in mathematics is designated as "unique. "

  • Exhaustion

    • If stage three is extended, long-term damage may result, as the body's immune system becomes exhausted, and bodily functions become impaired, resulting in decompensation.

  • Rocket Propulsion, Changing Mass, and Momentum

    • It is a commonly held misconception that the rocket exhaust pushes on the ground.
    • If we consider thrust; that is, the force exerted on the rocket by the exhaust gases, then a rocket's thrust is greater in outer space than in the atmosphere or on the launch pad.
    • First, the greater the exhaust velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, ve, the greater the acceleration is.
    • The rocket mass m decreases dramatically during flight because most of the rocket is fuel to begin with, so that acceleration increases continuously, reaching a maximum just before the fuel is exhausted.
    • where ln(m0/mr) is the natural logarithm of the ratio of the initial mass of the rocket (m0) to what is left (mr) after all of the fuel is exhausted.

  • Serial and Parallel Processing

    • On the other hand, exhaustive implies that comparisons continue until the entire set is compared and then a response is generated .
    • Participants may process some serial memory sets using the self-terminating method and others with the exhaustive method.

  • Problems

    • Using the results depicted in Figure 10.4, estimate the temperature of the hot and cold car exhaust and the relative concentration of CO in the two cases.

  • Further Resources

    • Although I hope it contains enough information to get you started on your own open source project, any serious investigation of licensing issues will quickly exhaust what this book can provide.

  • Introduction to binomial distribution (special topic)

    • These four scenarios exhaust all the possible ways that exactly one of these four people could refuse to administer the most severe shock, so the total probability is 4×(0.35)1(0.65)3 = 0.38.

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    • Symptoms of CFS include post-exertional malaise; unrefreshing sleep; widespread muscle and joint pain; sore throat; headaches of a type not previously experienced; cognitive difficulties; chronic, often severe, mental and physical exhaustion; and other characteristic symptoms in a previously healthy and active person .

  • Thermal Pollution

    • However, as we noted in our previous Atom on "Heat Pumps and Refrigerators", work required for the additional cooling leads to more heat exhaust into the environment.
