A list of ten distinct, positive integers has a median of 5.5. What is the smallest possible average of the ten positive integers? Explain your ansswer in complete sentences.
+35 Since you want the least average, then you want the most amount of small numbers
There has to be a 5.5 median so the list would have to have one 5 and one 6.
so the list would be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 since there cannot be reapeats
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 is 11* 5 since 1+10 is 11 2+9 is 11...
so the average is 55/10 or 5.5
