Step 2 :\(\text{The five integers may be arranged this way: }\underline{\ \ \ }, \ \underline{\ \ \ }, \ 4, \ 8, \ 8\)
Step 3 :\(\text{Since the mean is 5, the sum of all five integers is 25. The numbers 4, 8, and 8 total 20, leaving 5 for the sum of the first two.}\)
Step 4 :\(\text{They can't both be 2.5 since 8 is the only mode, so they are 1 and 4. The set is }\{1, 4, 4, 8, 8\}\)
Step 5 :\(\text{c: mean of 4 , median of 4 and mode of 4}\)
Step 6 :\(\text{The five integers may be arranged this way: }\underline{\ \ \ }, \ 4, \ 4, \ 4, \ \underline{\ \ \ }\)
Step 7 :\(\text{Since the mean is 4, the sum of all five integers is 20. The numbers 4, 4, and 4 total 12, leaving 8 for the sum of the first and last integers.}\)
Step 8 :\(\text{They can be 2 and 6, so the set is }\{2, 4, 4, 4, 6\}\)
Step 9 :\(\text{d: mean of 4.5 , median of 3 and mode of 2.5}\)
Step 10 :\(\text{The five integers may be arranged this way: }\underline{\ \ \ }, \ 2.5, \ 2.5, \ 3, \ \underline{\ \ \ }\)
Step 11 :\(\text{Since the mean is 4.5, the sum of all five integers is 22.5. The numbers 2.5, 2.5, and 3 total 8, leaving 14.5 for the sum of the first and last integers.}\)
Step 12 :\(\text{They can be 1 and 13.5, so the set is }\{1, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 13.5\}\)
Step 13 :\(\text{f: mean of 1 , median of }1 \frac{1}{4}\text{ and mode of }1 \frac{1}{4}\)
Step 14 :\(\text{The five integers may be arranged this way: }\underline{\ \ \ }, \ 1 \frac{1}{4}, \ 1 \frac{1}{4}, \ \underline{\ \ \ }, \ \underline{\ \ \ }\)
Step 15 :\(\text{Since the mean is 1, the sum of all five integers is 5. The numbers }1 \frac{1}{4}\text{ and }1 \frac{1}{4}\text{ total }2 \frac{1}{2}\text{, leaving }2 \frac{1}{2}\text{ for the sum of the first, fourth, and fifth integers.}\)
Step 16 :\(\text{They can be }\frac{1}{2}\text{, }1\text{, and }1\text{, so the set is }\{\frac{1}{2}, 1, 1 \frac{1}{4}, 1 \frac{1}{4}, 1\}\)
