<p>the median question was find 15 pos numbers whose median was the same as the range, so the numbers could have been 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 in set a</p>
<p>s
But in set b, the numbers were either multiplied by 2 or by 4, i forgot,</p>
<p>but either way, lets say 14 (the median of set a) is multiplied by 4, it is 56, and if 21 is multiplied by 4, it is 84, and 84-56=28, so the range is 28, which is half of 56, so the answer should be m=2r</p>
<p>My bad @samuelkim I put 12 for the perimeter of that triangle (so obvious) since it’s a 3, 4, 5. </p>
<p>You guys are over-thinking the m and r problem. Given the requirement that a set of fifteen numbers must have the median equivalent to the range, make up values. As I posted earlier, choose 10 to be your m and r. You can have 20 as the greatest number and you don’t have to have more than one. Convenientally, there was nothing saying that the integers had to be distinct. Anyway, have one 20 and fourteen 10s. Obviously the m and r are equal (10 is both). Quadruple that and m and r are still equal. 80-40=40 and 40 is the median. There ya go</p>
