Question

Create a set of 5 positive numbers that have median 10 and mean 14

Answer 1

Let the numbers be: a, b, 10, c, d

the mean is 14, means that


`(a+b+10+c+d)/(5)=14\\\\a+b+c+d=14 \cdot 5-10\\\\a+b+c+d= 60`

so let a, b, c, d be respectively: 10, 20, 20, 10


the set of numbers is 10, 20, 10, 20, 10
