Question

Programming with a large dataset would be most appropriate in answering which of the following questions?

How many gas stations are there in New York City?
What is the name of the 18th President of the United States?
What is the name of the CEO of Apple?
Which was the first country to land on the moon?

Answer 1

Only one of these questions could require large amounts of data to answer; the rest of them actually only need a single piece of data.

There is only one 18th US President; there is only one current Apple CEO; there is only one first country to land on the moon; but there are lots and lots of gas stations in New York City

Answer 2

How many gas stations are there in New York City?

Answer 3

Yeahhh thanks

Answer 4

Well, you could also say that the number itself is only one piece of data, but you could get that information from a large dataset, so I think that options still works.

That's what I was getting at, yup :)
