What is a mathematical whole number?
One that you can count up to, although I've heard zero (0) included in this set.
What is the only number that is in the whole number set that is not in the natural number set?
0 is the only number which is in the set of whole number but not in the natural number
What makes 15 a whole number?
Whole numbers consist of numbers from 0 to infinity. 15 is included in this set which makes it a whole number. Side Note: 15 is also a counting #, integer, rational #, and a real #
The set of ------- includeds positive and negative whole number and 0?
This is the definition of the set of 'Integers'.
How do you graph a solution set for b is not equal to 0 on a number line?
To graph the solution set for b is not equal to 0 on a number line, you would first place a filled-in circle at 0 to indicate that 0 is not included in the solution set. Then, draw a ray extending to the left and another extending to the right, indicating that the set includes all numbers except 0. No other markings or filled-in circles are needed since all numbers, positive or negative, except 0, are part of the solution set.
The set of whole numbers is equal to the set of natural numbers?
false, the set of natural numbers does not include 0, which can be considered a whole number.
Is an integer but not a a whole number?
Some integers are whole numbers, but only 0 through positive infinity. The negatives are not included in the whole numbers.
Is every whole number a natural number?
No, zero is a whole number, but not a natural number.The natural numbers are the set {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} (or the set {1, 2, 3, ...})The whole numbers are the set {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}The set of whole numbers has twice as many members as the set of natural numbers, so the answer to your question is NO.
What is 33 percent to the nearest whole number?
The nearest whole number is 0.The nearest whole number is 0.The nearest whole number is 0.The nearest whole number is 0.
Is the number 0 is a natural number.?
It depends on what you consider a natural number. If you consider it to be the set of all integers starting from 1 and going upward, then no, 0 is not a natural number.However, if you consider a natural number to be the set of all non-negative integers, then 0 is included in the set of natural numbers.
Is zero a element of a set of whole numbers?
Zero (0) is in the set of whole number. The only difference between the set of whole numbers and counting numbers is that the whole numbers contain zero. {0,1,2,3...}
Is it possible to have a median of 0 when dealing with whole positive numbers?
This is not possible, as to be the median the number must be part of the set and 0 is not a positive number. If 0 was meant to be included, the set would have to consist of more 0 terms than all other terms combined. That is, if x were any positive integer, 0, x, x or 0, 0, x, x could not have a median of 0, while 0, 0, 0, x, x would for certain.
