Glósóli
"Glósóli" (, Icelandic for "Glowing Sole") is a song by Sigur Rós, released as part of their 2005 album '' Takk...'' Together with "Sæglópur" it was the first single released from the album, available as a download only release on iTunes in America and Europe respectively. The name is a combination of ''gló-'' from the verb ''að glóa'' meaning "to glow, shine, glitter" and ''sóli'' meaning "sole." The second element of the name, ''sóli'', shares its grammatical stem with the word "sól", meaning "sun". In combination "glósóli" can be understood as a childish way of saying "glowing sun" or "let the sun glow". Music video The song is also praised for its artistic and highly cinematographic music video.

Weighted Mean
The weighted arithmetic mean is similar to an ordinary arithmetic mean (the most common type of average), except that instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others. The notion of weighted mean plays a role in descriptive statistics and also occurs in a more general form in several other areas of mathematics. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is the same as the arithmetic mean. While weighted means generally behave in a similar fashion to arithmetic means, they do have a few counterintuitive properties, as captured for instance in Simpson's paradox. Examples Basic example Given two school with 20 students, one with 30 test grades in each class as follows: :Morning class = :Afternoon class = The mean for the morning class is 80 and the mean of the afternoon class is 90. The unweighted mean of the two means is 85. However, this does not account for the difference in number of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
