You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For this one, you will have to compute the mean of each set of 3 numbers and see which sets have exactly two decimal places (or none or 1 as we can add a 0 onto it eg. 1=1.00)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will do A for you and let you do the others.
\n" ); document.write( "mean of A=\"%2812%2B31%2B42%29%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "=\"28.3333333333333333333\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So that one is NOT one of the number sets the work. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try the rest out and let me know if you have any problems:)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
