Question

I am thinking of 3 positive whole numbers. the mode is 5,the median is 5, and the range is 9. work out the three numbers.​

Answer 1

The 3 positive whole numbers would be:

5, 5 , 14

Explanation:

We need to find 3 positive whole numbers

The mode is 5

The median is 5

The range is 5

If the mode is 5 it means 5 is most repeated number, as mode is most repeated number of series.

So, it means we have two 5

We know that range can be found by:
`Range=Maximun\:Value-Minimum\:Value`

If we consider minimum value to be 5

`9=Maximun\:Value-5\\Maximun\:Value=9+5\\Maximun\:Value=14`

So, the 3 positive whole numbers would be:

5, 5 , 14

having mode 5, median 5 and range 9
