Answers (2)

Know the Answer?

Colt Nguyen · Answer 1

One way is to make 5 the 3rd number in a series of equally spaced numbers:

3,4,5,6,7 = mean of 5

1, 3, 5, 7, 9 = mean of five

4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6 = mean of five

4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 = mean of five

Do you get the idea?

Piper Castro · Answer 2

If their mean is 5, then the numbers add up to 25.

Here are a few sets that do the job:

1, 2, 3, 4, 15

10, 20, 30, 40, - 75

+2, - 2, + 99, - 99, 25

1, 5, 5, 5, 9
