  \caption{\label{table:examples}Suppose that a stellar population has an {\em observed} mass ratio distribution $f_{q,{\rm obs}}(q) =1$ for $\qmin < q \leq 1$. What is the pairing function and the generating mass distribution $\fq$? This table lists the exponent $\gamma_q$ of the generating mass distribution $\fq \propto q^{\gamma_q}$ that is most compatible with the synthetic observations.  }
