Arrow A genuine IH Cub Cadet question,....

Would anyone here help me figure out this one?

Lew collected data on the length of a model 1872 Cub Cadet Super garden tractor [to the nearest inch] and that of four of his favorite narrow frame IH Cub Cadet garden tractors, but,.....he lost the data . The 1872 Cub Cadet Super garden tractor was the longest, measuring 72 inches. Also, no two narrow frame IH Cub Cadet garden tractors had the same length. Lew had calculated the following measures: median=68, mean=68, range=7. Figure out what the original data was.

This statement has no actual description of any of the above tractors, however, the problem is written correctly. I can't figure this out, and thought what the heck, make it into something special. Please explain clearly.

I'll check back in later. Thanks for looking!

John

I don't understand what it is your asking? The way this is worded it almost looks like someone hacked your account.

It's a math problem guys!

The lengths of the four tractors are 65", 66", 68", 69" and 72".

The median is the number in the middle..... 68
The mean is the mathematical average......68
The range is the span from the highest to lowest number......7

So, we know one tractor length is 72". That was given. It is the longest. So we use the range to tell us that 65" is the lowest. We know that 68 is the middle number and no two tractors are the same length.

So (65+X+68+Y+72)/5=68
65+68+72+X+Y=340
205+X+Y=340
X+Y=135

Assuming that the tractor lengths are whole numbers, and that 68 is the middle number. So, one of the lengths has to be below 68 and the other above. We can quickly decide that the two missing lengths are 66 and 69.

Cool problem! That was fun!!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
