Assume that 2|2 = 22
2|2 3 7 8 9
3|0 5 5
4|1 6
5|0 0 1 6
6|4 5
How many numbers are in the original data set?
What is the smallest number in the data set?
well I suppose if 2|2 is 22 then 2|9 is 29 and 4|6 is 46 etc
so how many numbers are to the right of the | signs?
(five in the twenties, three in the thirties etc ) I get sixteen total.
How could any be smaller than 22?
I wish that my teachers make things that simple lol. thanks
You are welcome.
To find the answers to your questions, we need to understand the format of the given data set. The data is presented in a table divided into rows and columns. The numbers on the left side of the vertical bar (|) represent the "divisors," while the numbers on the right side of the vertical bar represent the "quotients" or results of the division.
Let's address the first question: How many numbers are in the original data set?
To determine the total number of numbers in the original data set, we need to count all the numbers in both the divisors and the quotients.
- The divisors are: 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So, there are 5 numbers in the divisors.
- The quotients are: 2, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 0, 5, 5, 1, 6, 0, 0, 1, 6, 4, and 5. So, there are 17 numbers in the quotients.
Adding the divisors and the quotients together, we get: 5 + 17 = 22.
Therefore, there are a total of 22 numbers in the original data set.
Now, let's address the second question: What is the smallest number in the data set?
To find the smallest number in the data set, we need to examine all the numbers in both the divisors and the quotients.
- The smallest number in the divisors is 2.
- The smallest number in the quotients is 0.
Comparing these two numbers, we can see that 0 is smaller than 2.
Therefore, the smallest number in the data set is 0.
