I just want to confirm my knowledge on the evenly spaced sets.
A set of numbers in which each number is a set distance, or increment, from the next. 1, 4, 7, 10 is an evenly spaced set with an increment of 3.
The arithmetic mean (average) is equal to the median. The set comprising 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 has a mean of 3 and a median of 3.
So following numbers are all evenly spaced set:-
Set of odd numbers {1,3,5,7,9} --> increment of 2
Set of even numbers {2,6,8,10} --> increment of 2
Multiple of 15 {15,30,45,60} --> increment of 15
What about these sets. Are these also evenly spaced sets ?
{1,1,1,1} --> there is no increment
{3,3,3,3}
{0,0,0,0}
There is no increment, and as per definition each number is a set distance or increment. Hence, we cannot consider them as evenly spaced ?
Please correct me if i am wrong.
