If light moves instantaneously, the telescope does not move, and the true direction of the star relative to the observer can be found by following the line ES.

If is true, and then one may infer that is true.

If is true, then one may infer that is true, and also that is true.

If this is true it would support the notion that God is himself the Redeemer, by associating him with the living Redeemer in the parallel structure.

If this is the case, there are no observation terms.

If we were to regard Sirius and Procyon as double stars, the change of their motions would not surprise us ; we should acknowledge them as necessary, and have only to investigate their amount by observation.

If is close to zero, will be very close to one after a single observation of an object which turned out to have the predicate, while if is much larger than, will be very close to regardless of the fraction of observed objects which had the predicate.

If an observation inductively supports the former but not the latter, then " inductively support " must refer to something other than changes in the probabilities of propositions.

If these elements for any synoptic cloud level at the time of observation are deemed to be of equal importance, then the type which is predominant in amount is coded by the observer and plotted on the weather map.

If the mean and variance matrix are unknown, a suitable log likelihood function for a single observation x would be:

If the time of observation is not 12: 00 noon local mean time, then depending on one's geographical latitude, this loop will be inclined at different angles.

If the observable universe encompasses the entire universe, we may determine the global structure by observation.

If the observable universe is smaller than the entire universe ( in some models it is many orders of magnitude smaller or even infinitesimal ), observation is limited to a part of the whole.

On page 27 of the 1855 printing of Harriet Martineau's translation of The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte, we see his observation that, " If it is true that every theory must be based upon observed facts, it is equally true that facts can not be observed without the guidance of some theories.

If the tip is small enough, such a configuration may allow indirect observation and recording of action potentials from a single cell, and is termed single-unit recording.

If the giant kills Jack, we have missed the whole point of the story .” This observation, however, is from the Cold War perspective, wherein the West are the " good " and the East is " evil ", implying that the story's ending with the British Secret Service agent killed by East German border guards is a victory for Evil.

Example: If the radiant was at an average altitude of 30 ° during the observation period, we will have to divide the observer's hourly rate by 0. 5 ( sin 30 °) to know how many meteors they would have seen if the radiant was at the zenith.

She was to write later, " If I had not married I should not have learned the quick enrichment of sentences that one gets in conversation ; had I not been widowed I should not have found the detachment of mind, the leisure for observation necessary to give insight into character, to express and interpret it.

* If it is not actually clear what the person does, or what he is really saying, the criticism may miss the mark ( by concentrating clearly and only on observation of what the individual as a matter of fact does or says, it is less likely, that the criticism will be misplaced, confused or misinterpreted ; it is less likely, that the person being criticized is being misunderstood ).

If an object ( particle ) is observed with frequency Ω >> ω in a half-space ( say, y < 0 ), then this observation prevents the particle, which stays in the half-space y > 0 from entry into this half-space y < 0.

If the main reporting station's information is unavailable, the nearest reporting station to that area is played first instead, in which case that weather station's observations will not be repeated at the end of the observation product.

Another possible reason is negative correlation between risk aversion ( e. g., the willingness to purchase insurance ) and risk level ( estimated ex ante based on observation of the ex post occurrence rate of observed claims ) in the population: If risk aversion is higher amongst lower risk customers, such that persons less likely to engage in risk-increasing behavior are more likely to engage in risk-decreasing behavior ( i. e., to take affirmative steps to reduce risk ), adverse selection can be reduced or even reversed, leading to ' propitious ' or ' advantageous ' selection.

If their expectations are violated at either level of observation they will become distressed and enact an appropriate action to stop the chance of infidelity ( Cramer et al., 2008 ).

If we use the Von Neumann cardinal assignment, every infinite cardinal number is also a limit ordinal ( and this is a fitting observation, as cardinal derives from the Latin cardo meaning hinge or turning point ): the proof of this fact is done by simply showing that every infinite successor ordinal is equinumerous to a limit ordinal via the Hotel Infinity argument.
