A WORD PROBLEM THATS KIND OF CONFUSING!

Create a set of 6 numbers (data), where the mode is 100 and the median and mean are equal. (The mean and median cannot also be 100.)

Mean = The average of the set of data (add all numbers together and divide by the total number which in this case is 6)

Median = The number right in the middle of the set of numbers when you put the numbers in numerical order. In this case you will have to take the two in the middle and average them because 6 is an even number so there wont just be one median number.

Mode = The most common number in the data set, in this case 100

There can be many answers to this question. You will need to experiment with different data sets that meet the criteria set up in the problem. At least two of the numbers in the set will be 100. The median and mean have to be equal but not 100.

Does this help clear the problem up?
