Question

The mean of six numbers is 3 the median is 6. List the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6...

it's mean x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6/ 6 = 3

x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 = 18

as median is 6 and number of observation is 6

this implies average of n/2 th and n/2 + 1 th

average of 3rd and 4th term is 6

x3+x4/2 = 6

x3+x4 = 12

x1 + x2 + 12 + x5 + x6 = 18

x1 + x2 + x5 + x6 = 6..
