Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.

Statistically, not everyone that got the mail took part in the poll, those ones are called non respondents, while the ones that took part in the survey are known as respondents.
