Watch the above video and answer the questions:
1. Can a set of data have more than one mode? Use the example from the video in your answer.
2. Write a definition and give an example of mean, median, and mode.

it can have more than one mode if it has two sets of the same numbers like 0909,0909,1234,1234,7777. the avg is 2412.6. te medium is 1234. and the modes are o9o9, o9o9, I234,I234

Math P.O.W
Yes, a set of data can have more than one mode, but it also can have no mode too.
Exp. 27,27,59,81,85
Mode: Most frequent value= 27
Mean: Average= 27+27+59+81+85=279 divided by 5=55.8
Median: Middle value= 59

Math pow ?: Can a set of data have more than one mode?
yes it can and it depeneds on the content of the data set example: 23,23,56,99,99. It is that simple.
mean means average. Median means the middle value. and last modes are the most frequent of the numbers. Examples:

34,34,44,45,54.

mean:166
median:44
mode:34

Yes but it depends what numbers they are, because if your numbers where:

11,11,23,54,54

Then it would be more than one mode because the mode is how frequent the numbers appear.

The median is the middle number. For example, if your numbers are:

10,15,20,25,30,35,40

Then what would happen is that you would go to the middle number and the middle number is the median. That means that 25 is the median in these numbers.

The mean is the average. For example, if you had these numbers...

10,15,30,45,50

then you would add all of the numbers together and then divide the total by 5 so you get 30. That means that 30 is the mean.

Yes it can because if you had 7 piggy banks and each either had 3459$, 3459$, 782$, 647$, 647$,5$, and 5$, then the modes would be
5$, 3459$, and 647$. Median is the middle value, mean is the average, and mode is the most frequent value.

Yes, there can be more than one mode in a group of numbers if 23 and 67 appear in the set of numbers 4 times each.
ex. 67,98,67,23,23,56,71,67,23,73,23,82,67
Mean: The average of the set of numbers.
Median: The middle valueof the set of numbers.
Mode: The number(s) that appears most frequently.

Accidently published twice, sorry

We forgive you Jared, don't worry :)

1.Yes a of data can have more than one mode because if there was:
50,50,65,60,60 then there is two
50's and two 60's. The mode is the most frequently seen number in this case there are two. So you would say that the mode is 50 and 60.

2.Mean, median, mode are three kinds of data. Mean means the average of your data, for example, if your numbers were 50,50,60,70, and 3 your mean would be 50+50+60+70+3=233 then divide 233 by the how many numbers you have. In this case it would be, 233 divided by 4=466. So 466 is your mean. Median is the middle number, so if your numbers were still 50,50,60,70, and 3, your median is 60 (the middle number). Finally there is mode. Mode is the number that is most frequently seen in all of the numbers. If our numbers were still 50,50,60,70, and 3, you would look for the most of the same number. There are mostly 50's in all of these numbers so 50 is the mode.
