  • Answer

For any subset S⊆{1,2,…,15}S \subseteq\{1,2, \ldots, 15\}, a number nn is called an "anchor" for SS if nn and n+∣S∣n+|S| are both members of SS, where ∣S∣|S| denotes the number of members of SS. Find the average number of anchors over all possible subsets S⊆{1,2,…,15}S \subseteq\{1,2, \ldots, 15\}.
