The mean will always be less than or equal to the greatest number in a set.gvosough wrote:is the mean of a set necessarily smaller than the maximum number in the set?
thank you
For example, the mean of {2, 2, 2, 2, 2} is 2 and the greatest value is 2.
To further generalize we can say that:
least value in set A < mean of set A < greatest value in set A
