Solution
Question 11
A list of 11 positive integers has a mean of 10, a median of 9, and a unique mode of 8. What is the largest possible value of an integer in the list?
Solution
Mean: The average of the numbers
Median: The number in the middle
Since the median is 9, so we must have
a, b, c, d, e, 9, f, g, h, i, j
Since the mode is 8, we have to have at least 2 occurrences of 8 in the list (we could have more).
So, First consider the case/scenario where we have 2 occurrences of 8, and try to minimize other variables in the list to make more room for j.
Then, consider the case/scenario where we have 3 occurrences of 8, and do the same as above.
Also, think about the largest answers given is 35, so you know you possibly do not have to try too many cases.
Also, do not forget to check your identified value against the constraint of mean is 10.
