Question

A data set has five values. Three of the values are 4, 5, and 10. The mean of the data is 7 and the median is 6. What are the other two values?

Answer 1

6 and 10

Explanation:

4+5+10= 19

19/3 is around 6.3333 and since our mean is 7 we will need a number higher than 6 so either 7,8,or 9

Also if our median is 6, six needs to be added

Let’s try using 6&7

4+5+6+7+10= 32/5- 6.4 NOT 7

4+5+6+8+10=33/5- 6.6- maybe 8

4+5+6+9+10= 34/5-6.8- maybe 9

4+5+6+10+10=35/5- perfect match!!!!
