Final answer:

The mean is 4.37, the median is 4.5, and the mode is 4.5.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total number of values. In this case, you have 6 numbers. 3.9 + 4.5 + 4.5 + 5.9 + 2 + 5.4 = 26.2. The mean is therefore 26.2 divided by 6, which is approximately 4.37 when rounded to one decimal place.

To find the median, you arrange the numbers in ascending order and then find the middle value. In this case, the numbers in ascending order are 2, 3.9, 4.5, 4.5, 5.4, 5.9. The median is the middle value, which is 4.5.

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the set. In this case, the value 4.5 appears twice, which is more than any other value. Therefore, the mode is 4.5.
