A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood. Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including brain cells. Carbohydrates are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into glucose in your body.
A binary variable is the same thing as a â bit â in computer science or a âtruth valueâ in mathematical logic. They are basically different names for the same thing, much like statisticians call a Bell curve a â Normal Distribution â and physicists call it a â Gaussian distribution .â.
The bit (a portmanteau of binary digit)[1] is a basic unit of information used in computing and digital communications.[2] A binary digit can have only one of two values, and may be physically represented with a two-state device. These state values are most commonly represented as either a 0or1.
