Think of 5 positive integers that have a mode of 4, a median of 6, a mean of 7 and a range of 10.

6 6 6 6 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle number

the mode is the number of items, usually the number that are the same.

the mean is the average

the range is the number between the smallest and the largest.

So the information you have makes 4 of the 5 numbers the same.

The middle number is 6. This is an interesting fact because it means that 4 of the five numbers are 6

x 6 6 6 6  or  6 6 6 6 x  is what you know so far.

The range is a bit of a devil. And so is the mean. We need the mean to be related to  5*7 = 35. So the sum of the five numbers equals 35. The range would have to be 5, I think. (35 - 4*6) = 11

The difference between 11 and 6 = 5

So 11 works for everything but the range.

If the range must be ten, then x = 16 but then the mean = 8 and 7  is incorrect

So I can get 3 out of 4, but not them all.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
