what are the mean and mode of the following set of numbers 5,12,1,5,7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the mean add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the mode choose the value that occurs most often

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I 'm still not understanding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok for the mean you would do 5 + 12 + 1 + 5 + 7 = ? Solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

recount that its actually 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[30\div5= ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I think I have it now so the mean would be 30 and the mode is5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes the mode is 5 since it shows up the most but the mean is not 30, you added them all up and got 30 but you have to divide by how man there are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
