		<description><![CDATA[When taking square roots of both sides of an equation, one should be careful not to turf out the negative result without first considering whether it has a true meaning.  When using Pythagoras&#8217; Theorem, the last step is to take square roots. So, can we have a hypotenuse with length -5? I taught Pythagoras&#8217; Theorem [...]]]></description>

The mean or expectation of a Binomial Distribution is always very close to mode or the value of X that has greatest probability. I want to know if you can use the mean to [...]]]></description>
