Construct a data set that consists of 5 values where the range is 6 and the mean is 4.   Type your answer in the following format: {Value1, Value2, Value3, Value4, Value5}

The CBEST is a test that individuals in California must take before they can become substitute teachers at the K-12 level. One portion of the exam is devoted to mathematics and it consists of 50 multiple choice questions that each have 5 possible options. Suppose Jim took the CBEST test and decided to randomly guess on all 50 questions. Use this information to answer the following question.    What is the probability that Jim gets at most 9 correct? Make sure to type in your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 0.54321 then you would type in 0.543.
