If all ten poisoned bottles are in the first batch of ten, then on the first try, all rats will die and you'd know.
If all ten poisoned bottles are in the last batch of ten, then on the 99th try you would know, as no rats had died. You wouldn't have to try the 100th time.
The minimum number of tries, in the worst case scenario, is 99.

How do you draw a flowchart to find maximum and minimum of given 3 input numbers?
You draw a flowchart to find maximum and minimum of given 3 input numbers by using all three numbers. You take the low, high and input the middle number between them. You can see the rise, or decline of the chart that way.
What is 2.7 in the real number system?
The number 2.7 is defined by the Dedekind cut.The Dedekind cut for any real number divides the set of rational numbers, Q, into two disjoint sets: set A which consists of all number less than the given number (2.7) and set B, which is the complement of A in Q. If the set B has a minimum then that number is the minimum of set B. If not then the number is the real number that is not in A nor in B.For all rational numbers B has a minimum. So in this case, the number is the Dedekind cut defined by the set B = {x | x in Q, x not < 2.7}
What is the minimum number of data points needed from which to identify a fractal with x y and z axes?
There can be no minimum number - it is simply not possible. Given any n points in 3-dimensional space, it is possible to find a polynomial that will generate a curve going through each of those points. There are other functions which will also do the trick. So, given any number of points, it would be impossible to determine whether they were generated by a fractal or a polynomial (or other function).
What is the minimum number of data points needed to identify a fractal with x and y axes?
There is no minimum number - it is simply not possible. Given any n points in 2-dimensional space, it is possible to find a polynomial of order (n-1) that will generate a curve going through each of those points. There are other functions which will also do the trick. So, given any number of points, it would be impossible to determine whether they were generated by a fractal or a polynomial (or other function).

How do you determined market demand?
Market demand for particular good or service = number of goods or services that will be sold at a given price. For instance, in a small town the demand for designer cologne at $30 might be 25 bottles... at $40 it might be 10 bottles and at $10 it might be 70 bottles. Is that what you're looking for?
