A. M is not an integer
B. M is even

D. M >= 6
E. M <= 96

A) it could certainly be an integer right? 
$$\frac{10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+100}{10}$$

anonymous · Answer

Yes. It could be an integer, so A is certainly not the correct answer. @satellite73

loser66 · Answer

$\dfrac{1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19}{10}=10$

loser66 · Answer

so c is not true, the same with b

loser66 · Answer

But we need more given condition: does the number repeat?

anonymous · Answer

The answer is either D or E. You can figure out that the maximum value is 95.5, and the minimum value is 5.5 

However, the answers are as provided. 

The numbers do not repeat.

anonymous · Answer

When the minimum value is 5.5, and the maximum value is 95.5, and they want you to state that M is either greater than or equal to 6, or M is less than or equal to 96, which do you choose as the correct answer?

loser66 · Answer

Since you have the minimum is 5.5 , so the so-called "Must be greater or equal 6" sounds not good to me.

anonymous · Answer

I was thinking that the answer would be E. Still pisses me off though, since m CAN'T be equal to 96.

loser66 · Answer

$\leq$ means lesser than OR equal, not AND

loser66 · Answer

so that the result can be lesser OR equal 96, if it can't be 96, it can be lesser. It's true still
