What is shown in the table?
Answer (2)
The table displays numerical values represented by various symbols, which can be systematically analyzed for patterns. By mapping each symbol to a numerical digit, values can be converted; however, if no pattern emerges, the missing values may remain indeterminate. Thus, approaching the problem with a methodical method is key to deriving conclusions from such data sets.

Explanation
Problem Analysis The table provides data related to elements 21 to 26 (Sc to Fe). The table includes columns for the element number, symbol, and a numerical value in the last column. The objective is to identify a pattern or relationship within the table to predict or determine missing values, specifically the values represented by the question marks. The numerical values in the last column appear to be in a non-standard format, using symbols from various languages. The approach is to convert these symbols into numerical digits to identify a potential pattern.
Symbol Mapping To decipher the non-standard numerical representations, we need to map each symbol to its corresponding digit. Based on the provided data, we can deduce the following mappings:
'ç' likely represents 7
'ε' likely represents 3
'व' likely represents 9
'å' likely represents 5
'ต' likely represents 9
'ว' likely represents 2
'-' likely represents 0
'.' likely represents 0 Using these mappings, we can convert the given numerical values into standard numerical values.
Value Conversion Let's convert the given values using the derived symbol mappings:
6 ç60 ε/c -> 6760 3/c -> 6760318 (assuming / is 1 and c is 8)
6860 व -> 68609
Gå:6ต 1/6 -> 65:69 1/6 -> 65069116 (assuming G is 6 and : is 0)
G-ว. -> 6-2. -> 6020
Pattern Analysis Now, let's analyze the converted numerical values:
Element 21: 606608
Element 22: 6760318
Element 23: 68609
Element 24: 686008
Element 25: 65069116
Element 26: 6020 There is no immediately obvious pattern or relationship between the element number and the numerical value. The differences between consecutive numerical values do not reveal a clear arithmetic or geometric sequence. Therefore, predicting the missing values is not feasible based on the given information and the identified conversions.
Conclusion Due to the lack of a discernible pattern and the inconsistencies in the converted values, it is not possible to accurately predict the missing values in the table. Therefore, the missing values remain unknown.
Examples
In cryptography, symbol mapping is used to encrypt messages by replacing characters with different symbols or numbers. This ensures that the original message is unreadable to anyone who doesn't have the key to decipher it. Similarly, in data analysis, recognizing and converting non-standard representations into standard formats is crucial for accurate interpretation and pattern recognition. This is particularly useful when dealing with data from diverse sources that may use different encoding schemes or conventions.
