5,5,5,2,6,1,15,2,3,1 show your work to find the mode the median and the mean

To find the mode, we look for the number that appears most frequently in the dataset. In this case, the number 5 appears three times, which is more than any other number. So, the mode is 5.

To find the median, we first need to organize the numbers in ascending order: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 15. Since there are 10 numbers in the dataset, the median would be the average of the two middle numbers, which are 3 and 5. Adding them together and dividing by 2 gives us (3+5)/2 = 4. So, the median is 4.

To find the mean, we add up all the numbers in the dataset and divide by the total number of numbers. The sum of the numbers is 5+5+5+2+6+1+15+2+3+1 = 45. Since there are 10 numbers in the dataset, the mean would be 45/10 = 4.5. So, the mean is 4.5.
