How many objects are needed to have a set of something?In: Miscellaneous, Math |
[Edit] |
Answer
Two. Usually.
A set is a set, if you are talking about dishes it would be the number of place settings in that set so it could be four or eight, each of those would have a plate, bowl, cup, saucer, and depending on the type, serving dishes are included as well. If you were missing any of those pieces it would not be a complete set. The same could be said for baseball cards.
It all depends on the object and how it was sold.
Bookends are sold in sets of two, tires are sold in sets of four, but can be purchased separately or in two's.
according to a poll of my philosophy students the overall opinion that two of anything is a pair so 3 and over of something would count as a set
