Answer:

True

Explanation:

You want to know if it is true a data set can have the same mean, median, and mode.

Mean, median, mode

The mean of a dataset is the average of all of its elements. The median is the middle one, or the average of the middle two elements. The mode is the most common element.

There is nothing in the definitions of these that prevents their being the same value. For a normally-distributed set of data, these all have the same value. A dataset does not need to be normally distributed (or even symmetrical) for these measures of center to be identical.

True
