Answer:

The mean means average. To find it, add together all of your values and divide by the number of addends. The median is the middle number of your data set when in order from least to greatest. The mode is the number that occurred the most often.

Mode is the answer that shows up the most, for example if your numbers were 10, 10, 14, 17, 19, the mode would be 10.

You find the median by putting the numbers in order from least to greatest, and finding the number in the middle of those, for example 10, 10, 14, 17, 19, the median would be 14.

The mean is subtracting the smallest number from the largest number, using my example that would be 19-10, so the mean is 9, if that makes any sense.
