Question

A median of a number is 5.
A mean is 5.
They're five different numbers.
They're not integers.
Workout the numbers.

Please help me I got a test tomorrow please!:)

Answer 1

if there are five of them and the median is five I think five is an integer

a b c d e

c = 5

(a+b+c+d +e)/5 = 5
so
a+b+5+d+e = 25

a+b+d+e=20
with d and e >5 and a and b <5
well what if
a = 1
b= 2
d= 7
e = 10

1 2 5 7 10

Answer 2

they're not integer!!!!

Answer 3

5 is an integer

Answer 4

I wrote 47.235 as my answer then it asked me to use the calculator to find a complete answer.How I'm I suppose to do this.

please I need help I got a test tomorrow.Thankyou

Answer 5

The set 1 2 5 7 10
has mean=5
median=5

Now, if you don't want integers, then fudge the values a bit.

1.1 2.1 5 6.9 9.9

The mean is still 5.

Since there are an odd number of values, the median must be the center number. If it is 5, then the median is an integer. I see no way to have an integer median for an odd set of non-integer values.
