It also occurs in an analogous statistical sense, e. g. a life table may show the numbers, surviving at different ages, of an initial number of individuals, e. g. 10, 000 which is the radix of that particular tabulation.

Specialty Definition: Radix

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Radix (from Latin, basis) is the number base of a numeral system. e.g., binary is "base 2" and has a radix of 2. When describing radix in mathematical notation, b is generally used as a symbol for this concept; so, for a binary system, b equals 2.
