Question

Invent a six-value data set for which the median is 5. Answer:

Answer 1

Median = Middle number.

_ _ _ _ _ _

I would put 
_     _     4.5    5.5     _     _

2.5    3.5    4.5    5.5    6.5    7.5

Any numbers work so long as the two center ones have a 'happy median' of 5 (the middle place between the two numbers) and so long as they are in numerical order. There are infinitely many possible solutions to this problem. This is one of many possible answers. Hope this helps :)
