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
