Answer 1

How do you think we should start this?

Answer 2

5 digits numbers are from 10000 to 99999....

Answer 3

I don't understand the question

Answer 4

When you add all the numbers together in a five-digit number, they add up to 2.

Answer 5

You need to sum the digits, like for 10000, 1+0+0+0+0=1
You need the sum to be 2.

Answer 6

And you need to find such numbers in the range 10000 to 99999.

Answer 7

I don't think that this question is as simple

Answer 8

Does it mean how many numbers there are that you can make in that range to add up to two?

Answer 9

No, a single number whose digits add up to 2.

Answer 10

Yes, but the answers can only be 1,2,3,4 and 5?

Answer 11

Would 20000 be the answer then?

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

What about 11000? or 10001?

Answer 14

are this in statistics and probability course?

Answer 15

it can be 10001 or 10010 or 10100 or 11000

Answer 16

I think he is asking about the possible outcomes
the answer is 5 because
the integer may be :11000,10100,10010,10001,20000
