nu m b e rs to show your answe

Answer 1

No, because a mean is the average.

Explanation:

Consider the following example:

The set is:

19, 23, 11, 31

if you add all these up you get 84.

Then you divide by 4 and get 21. So, 21 is the mean but, when you look at the set of numbers, 21 is not there. So, the same goes for any number, a number can still be the mean even if it is not in the set.
