The term "greater than or equal to" is a mathematical comparison symbolized by the symbol "≥". It indicates that one value is either larger than or exactly equal to another value. For example, if we say that x ≥ 5, it means that x can be any number that is 5 or more. This concept is commonly used in various fields, including mathematics, statistics, and computer science. It helps in setting conditions and constraints, such as in inequalities or when defining ranges. For instance, a score of 70% or greater is often required to pass a test, which can be expressed as score ≥ 70.
