   Apr 6, 2016 · In mathematics, if we say a specific result holds in general, we mean there are no exceptions to the result. In every-day non mathematical discussions, if someone makes a claim and says it is true in general, they mean it is true most of the time but with possibly a few exceptional cases.

   term: in an algebraic expression or equation, either a single number or variable, or the product of several numbers and variables separated from another term by a + or – sign, e.g. in the expression 3 + 4 x + 5 yzw, the 3, the 4 x and the 5 yzw are all separate terms.

   What is the difference between 'generally not' and 'not generally'?

   • Haha, it gets more confusing when I am negating the word: 'generally not' could mean either never or seldom (depending on whether the mathematical or non-mathematical meaning is being understood), while 'not generally' could mean either "often" or "sometimes" (due to the same ambiguity). This can get quite some list… Here are a few:

   What does 'generally' mean?

   • In every-day non mathematical discussions, if someone makes a claim and says it is true in general, they mean it is true most of the time but with possibly a few exceptional cases. Exactly the opposite of the mathematical meaning! Mathematicians often use "generically" to mean essentially what nonmathematicians mean by "generally".

   Can an event be rare if its probability is less than 0.05?

   • The answer is: It depends. The probability threshold needs to be pre-specified before we can call an event to be rare. The typical threshold used in most Statistics courses is 0.05. So, an event will be rare if its probability of occurrence is less than 0.05. How to Write it Mathematically?

   What is a rare event?

   • Speaking generally, a rare event is an event that is very unlikely to happen, an event that has small likelihood of occurring. And such likelihood is measured as a probability. So then, in other words, a rare event is simply an event with a small probability of occurrence How Small is Small?

   How do you know if an event is rare or unusual?

   • You are given an event, you compute its probability, if it is less than 0.05 (or whatever the pre-specified threshold for unusual events is), then it is considered to be rare or unusual, otherwise, it is a usual event. What Complications Can I Find? Not many complications should be found with the concept of rare event itself.

   Do you know math terms?

   • Believe it or not, there are a lot of words in math — and if you don’t know them, it’s going to be hard to work with the numbers they describe. An understanding of basic math terms goes a long way, no matter if you consider yourself a “math person” or not.
