first step is to arrange in ascending order(smallest to largest)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok
OpenStudy (kuoministers):
The mean is the where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
The mode is the value that occurs most often.

Geesh
OpenStudy (kuoministers):
Best to have a habit to arrange from smallest to largest because normally they ask you to find the median

But 5 is twice
OpenStudy (kuoministers):
if 5 is twice it occurs the most right?
so 5 is the mode
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the rest of the numbers are the mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So I divide by five
OpenStudy (kuoministers):
you would need to add everything together
5 + 12 + 1+ 5 + 7.
Then you count how many numbers there is then divide it
