Question

onstruct a bimodal sample (with at least two different values in the set) of 5 measurements whose median is −3. If this is not possible, indicate "Cannot create sample".

Expert Solution
Step 1

We need to put data in ascending order such that -3 sits in the middle of the data at third position.

We also need data to have at least two values with more than one occurrences, so we can put one value twice on the left of -3 and one other value twice on the right of -3.
