Final answer:

To determine the minimum value in a list of positive numbers, you can use a simple algorithm or the 'min()' function on a TI-83, 83+, or 84 calculator.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the minimum value in a list of positive numbers, you can use the following algorithm:

  1. Initialize a variable called 'minimum' to the first number in the list.
  2. Iterate through the rest of the numbers in the list.
  3. If a number is smaller than the current value of 'minimum', update 'minimum' to that number.
  4. After iterating through all the numbers, 'minimum' will hold the minimum value in the list.

Alternatively, if you have a TI-83, 83+, or 84 calculator, you can use the built-in 'min(' function. Simply enter the list of numbers as an argument, like 'min(3, 5, 1, 7)', and the calculator will return the minimum value.
