We can adjust the data by adding 4 to everything before we calculate the statistics. Or we can calculate the statistics on the given data and just add 4 to everything at the end. We'll get the same answer either way.

Let's sort the seven data points: 5 5 5 7 7 9 10

Those add up to 48 so the mean is 48/7 = 6.9

The one in the middle is 7 so the median = 7

The mode is the most common one, mode = 5

The range is the difference between max and min, so range = 10 - 5 = 5

In the second week we add four to everything. Since that adds four to the min and max, the range doesn't change.

Answer: mean=10.9, median=11, mode=9, range=5
