Is it possible to construct a data set that contains only 5 values where the standard deviation is 0 and the median is 34? If it is not possible, then explain why it is impossible. If it is possible, then construct a data set that satisfies those conditions and write your answer in the following format: {Value1, Value2, Value3, Value4, Value5}

Consider the following sample data shown below. Calculate the mean for this data set. {1, 7, 12, 8.5, 9, 20, 13, 5, 23, 17} Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. So if you thought the answer was 65.4321 then you would type in 65.43

Scenario: Matt, a local community college mathematics teacher always lets his students use a 1-page reference sheet during his exams. Students are allowed to put anything they want on the reference sheet as long as it fits on the 1-page reference sheet. He was talking to one of his colleagues about this policy when she mentioned that she also allows her students to use a reference sheet, but she makes it for them and they aren’t allowed to include any additional information. Matt decided to see which method worked better for his students. He was teaching 2 calculus classes that semester, and he allowed one of those classes to make their own reference sheets, and for the other class he made their reference sheets for them. At the end of the semester, he looked at the final grades for each class to determine whether one method was more beneficial for his students.  Is the scenario described above an example of an experimental study or an observational study? Explain how you arrived at your answer and be as specific as possible.
