total ages = 60
Generally, if the mode is 8 would mean there are more than one age of 8
suppose there are two with age 8,
leaving 44 for the other 4
(11 for the average of the remaining 4)
could have 9 and 13, and 8 and 14
so we could have:
8,8,8,9,13,14
or we could have:
8,8,9,10,12,13
check:of the 1st answer
mean = (8+8+8+9+13+14)/6 = 10
the mode is 8
you check the 2nd case
