Problem

A list of $9$ real numbers consists of $1$, $2.2$, $3.2$, $5.2$, $6.2$, $7$, as well as $x$, $y$ , and $z$ with $x$ $\le$ $y$ $\le$ $z$. The range of the list is $7$, and the mean and the median are both positive integers. How many ordered triples ($x$, $y$, $z$) are possible?

$\textbf{(A) } 1 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 2 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 3 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 4 \qquad \textbf{(E) } \text{infinitely many}$
