Well let's find out. What did you get for the mean of this set of numbers?

Answer 9

After you divide by seven, go ahead and round that number to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 10

its a 100%

Answer 11

It is A and the way we got that is that to find the mean, you add all the numbers up and divide them by how many numbers there was (in this case, seven numbers) to find (after rounding it to the nearest hundredth), 13.57.

Next, to find the mode, you find the number that appears more than once. In our case, 16 appeared twice where all the the other numbers appeared only once.

13.57<16 so yes, A is the answer :)
