I came across a question while preparing for a standardized test that is kind of confusing. Hope you guys could help me out here. The question is:
Three men have weights that range from 110 to 135 pounds.
Which of the following cannot possibly be the average weight of the 3 men.
a)117 b)119 c)122 d)125 e)126
The answer is 117
Any idea how that was obtained ?
The question might have been better worded. For instance: "The lightest man weighs 110 pounds, and the heaviest man weighs 135 pounds." As it stands, I find it ambiguous.
