What is the smallest of six consecutive odd integers whose average (arithmetic mean) is z + 2?
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) z - 5
B) 3
C) z - 3
D) z
E) z + 1
Since the numbers are consecutive odd integers, mean = median = 3rd integer + 4th integer /2   And 1st integer= 3rd integer- 4   let's say 3rd integer = n and 4th integer = n+2   2n+2/2= z+2   n= z+1   1st integer= z+1-4= z-3   z - 3 is the answer
<result>C</result>
