We are to create a data set of 4

that is a, b, c, d

mode means a number that occur the most

Median means the middle number

Mean means the average number

in the set, we must have a mode of 3

3, 3,

to get a median of 6, we need a number when we add to three and divide by 2 will give us 6

the number is 9

3 + 9 / 2

12/ 2 =

3, 3 , 9, d

the last number is d and it is unknown

since means is 10

mean = summation of all the numbers in the data set / the total number

the total number is 4

mean = 10

10 = 3 + 3 + 9 + d / 4

cross multiplication

10 x 4 = 3 + 3 + 9 + d

40 = 6 + 9 + d

40 = 15 + d

isolate d

d = 40 - 15

d = 25

therefore, the data set with a mode of 3, median of 6 and a mean of 10 are

3 , 3 , 9, 25
