median, mode, mean

Answer 2

right???

Answer 3

To find the mean, add them all and divide by how many there are...
88 + 98 + 85 + 86 + 84 + 88 = 529
529 / 6 = 88.16666...

To find median, put them in order and take the middle number (in the event there's 2 middle numbers, take their average)...
84 85 86 88 88 98
Middle numbers are 86 and 887...average is 87

To find the mode, find the number represented the most number of times.
There are two 88s. so this is the mode

now place these in order
median, mode, mean.
