false. Suppose you have 1,000 values, 500 of which are 1 and 500 of which are 3. Then the mean would be 2. This is assuming the values don't all need to be unique. But if they need to be unique, you could do something like 1, 1001, 2, 1000, 3, 999, 4, 998, etc., which will also average to the same amount, 501, without 501 necessarily being one of the 1000 values.

Directrix (directrix):

False. The mean is a member of the data group in sets such as {5, 5, 5,} where there is no variation.
