The values 1, 1, 2, 4 and 62 have a mean of 14, a median of 2 and a mode of 1. A report wants to quote the average that makes these values look largest. Which average is that, and what is its value?

Explanation

The five values total 70, so the average built from that total is 14, far above the middle value of 2 and the most common value of 1, because 62 lifts the total on its own. Quoting 2 would describe the centre of the data honestly, but it is the smaller figure, so it cannot be the choice that makes the data look biggest.
