Question

What is the mean, median, and mode of 5, 7, 6, 6, 11?

Answer 1

Mean: `7`
Median: `6`
Mode: `6`

Explanation:

The mean is the average quantity measures by adding up all the numbers in a given set divided by how many numbers are there in that set:
If we add up all the given numbers, the sum is `35` divided by how many numbers there are in total (`5`) we get `7` as the average.

The median can be found by listing the numbers in numerical order and crossing out a number on each left/right side until a middle number is reached:

`cancel(5),cancel(6),color(red)6,cancel(7),cancel(11)`

The median is `6`

The mode is the number that appears the most in a set. Here, `6` is used twice whereas the other numbers are only used once. Therefore the mode is `6`
