Two integers are inserted into the list to double its range. The mode and median remain unchanged. What is the maximum possible sum of the two additional numbers?
Solution
To double the range we must find the current range, which is , to then the double is Since we dont want to change the median we need to get a value greater than (as would change the mode) for the smaller and is fixed for the larger as anything less than is not beneficial to the optimization. So taking our optimal values of and we have an answer of .
