This is not possible, as to be the median the number must be part of the set and 0 is not a positive number.

If 0 was meant to be included, the set would have to consist of more 0 terms than all other terms combined. That is, if x were any positive integer, 0, x, x or 0, 0, x, x could not have a median of 0, while 0, 0, 0, x, x would for certain.

A set of five distinct positive integers has a mean of 1000 and a median of 100 What is the largest possible integer that could be included in the set?

median = 100, mean = 1000 set of numbers = {a,b,100,c,d} a+b+100+c+d = 5000 As the set contains distinct numbers, and there is no range that is given in the problem, we can consider the set of numbers as {1,2,100,101,4796} So the largest possible integer can be 4796.
