Possible Answers:

$\dpi{100} \small -4.5$

$\dpi{100} \small 3.5$

$\dpi{100} \small -5.5$

$\dpi{100} \small -6.5$

$\dpi{100} \small 5.5$

Correct answer:

$\dpi{100} \small -4.5$

Explanation:

The two integers in this case, and their respective averages, could be:

$2\ and\ 7=4.5$

$-2\ and\ -7=-4.5$

$1\ and\ 14=7.5$

$-1\ and\ -14=-7.5$

Only $\dpi{100} \small -4.5$ is one of the answer choices.

Example Question #1 : Sets

In the set of positive, distinct integers [a, b, c, d, e] , the median is . What is the minimum value of a + b + c + d + e ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We know that all the numbers are positive, so they are greater than zero. We also know that the numbers are distinct, so they are all unique.

We can write this as {a + b + 8 + d + e}, so let a and b be 1 and 2 respectively, the smallest possible positive, distinct integers. Then let d and e be 9 and 10, the smallest positive, distinct integers larger than 8.

We add the set {1 + 2 + 8 + 9 + 10} to find it equals 30.
