Problema Solution
find the three numbers that have a mode of 4 and mean of 6.
Answer provided by our tutors
the "mode" is the value that occurs most often
the mean is 4 thus 2 out of 3 numbers are equal to 4
now we know that the 3 numbers are: 4, 4 and x, we need to find x
the "mean" ("average") is the sum of a set of data divided by the number of data
the mean is 6 thus
(4 + 4 + x)/3 = 6
by solving the equation we find
x = 10
