Question

Think of 5 positive integers that have a mode of 5 and 6, a median of 6 and a mean of 7.

Answer 1

5,5,6,6,13

Explanation:

Mode means most often. The 5 numbers has 2 modes 5 and 6

This means that 4 of the numbers must be 5,5,6,6

Median means the middle number must be 6

5,5,6,6,x is the only way to to get the middle number to be 6

We need to average to 7

(5+5+6+6+x) /5 = 7

(5+5+6+6+x) /5 *5= 7*5

(5+5+6+6+x) =35

22+x = 35

x = 35-22

x = 13

The other number is 13
