Step-by-Step Solution

The multiples are 14, 21, 28, … , 98, that is numbers. Equally spaced numbers have their mean at the average of the first and last, ; the long check agrees, since the sum is and 728 ÷ 13 = 56. Slipping in 7, which does not lie between 10 and 100, gives . Miscounting the list as 12 numbers and taking the 6th of them gives 49. Because the count is odd, the middle term is the 7th, , which matches the mean exactly.
