The minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.

<h3>How to find the Smallest Integer?</h3>

Let the five numbers be a,b,c,d and e.

Let s be an integer

Comparison 1:

a and b will be compared first and the smaller number of them will be equal to s

Comparison 2:

Now, a smaller number between a and b that is s will be compared with c. Similarly, the smaller number of both numbers will be taken as s in the next comparison.

Comparison 3:

Likewise, s and d will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison

Comparison 4:

Likewise, s and e will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison.

After 4th comparison, s will be equal to smallest number of 5 integers.

Thus;

Total comparisons = 4

Therefore, the minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Difference between the mean of the data, including the outlier and excluding the outlier is;

B: 0.93

<h3>Mean average</h3>

Her time in minutes for the given months are;

  • January = 41.55 minutes
  • July = 36. 38 minutes
  • Feb = 42.51 minutes
  • Aug = 38.48 minutes
  • Mar = 43. 01 minutes
  • Sept = 41.87 minutes
  • Apr = 39. 76 minutes
  • Oct = 51.32 minutes
  • May = 37. 32 minutes
  • Nov = 42.59 minutes
  • June = 35.28 minutes
  • Dec = 43.71 minutes

Looking at all the numbers, they largely range from 36 to 44 which means that the outlier is 51.32

Total number of minutes with outlier = 493.78 minutes

Number of months = 12

Thus;

Mean with outlier = 493.78/12

Mean with outlier = 41.15 minutes

Mean without outlier = (493.78 - 51.32)/(12 - 1)

Mean without outlier = 40.22 minutes

Thus;

Difference in both means = 41.15 - 40.22

Difference = 0.93
