Answer:

The lowest mark should be 5.

Explanation:

If the modal score is 11 and there are three marks we're comparing, that means 11 must appear twice as a score. To get a mean/average of 9 from three scores, all the scores must add up to 27. 11+11=22, so the final mark should be 5.

11+11+5=27

27/3=9
