- The following problem is from both the 2019 AMC 10A #12 and 2019 AMC 12A #7, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
Melanie computes the mean , the median
, and the modes of the
values that are the dates in the months of
. Thus her data consist of
,
, . . . ,
,
,
, and
. Let
be the median of the modes. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution
There are values which means that the median is the
rd biggest value. Because there are
of each of the first
numbers, the median is
.The mean of these numbers is a little under
because there are only
's. The median of the modes is the median of
to
, yielding 14.5. Because
, the answer is
-Lcz
