Nitrous oxide transfer of nitrous oxide from bulk cylinders to smaller, more transportable E-type, 1590 liter-capacity tanks, is legal when the intended use of the gas is for medical anaesthesia. Nitrous oxide Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or nitrous, is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula . At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, with a slight metallic scent and taste. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen. It is soluble in water. Nitrous oxide has significant medical uses, especially in surgery and dentistry, for its anaesthetic and
Algebraic formula for the variance for the "n" by "m" cross-covariance matrix "between" two random vectors of length "n" and "m": where expectations are taken element-wise and formula_8 and formula_9 are random vectors of respective lengths "n" and "m". Note that this formula suffers from the same loss of significance as the formula for variance if used for calculating estimates of the covariance, and alternative algorithms should be used instead. Algebraic formula for the variance In probability theory and statistics, there are several algebraic formulae for the variance available for deriving the variance of a random variable. The usefulness of these depends on what is
