  • Answer

Let S={1,2,…,2008}S=\{1,2, \ldots, 2008\}. For any nonempty subset A⊂SA \subset S, define m(A)m(A) to be the median of AA (when AA has an even number of elements, m(A)m(A) is the average of the middle two elements). Determine the average of m(A)m(A), when AA is taken over all nonempty subsets of SS.
