Answer:

One of the many examples is {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

Explanation:

The mean is the average of a data set.
The median is the number in the middle (or between the 2 middle numbers) of a data set that is placed from least to greatest.
The mode is the value that shows up the most times in the data set.

A few examples of a set with the same mean, median, and mode could be any number repeated in a data set:
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
This would work because the mean is 0, the median is 0, and the mode is 0.

Answer: Okay, so you probably already know this but,

The mean - is the same as the average value of a data set and is found using a calculation. Add up all of the numbers and divide by the number of numbers in the data set.

Add up all of the numbers and divide by the number of numbers in the data set. The median is the central number of a data set. Arrange data points from smallest to largest and locate the central number.

The mode of a data set is the number that occurs most frequently in the set. To easily find the mode, put the numbers in order from least to greatest and count how many times each number occurs. The number that occurs the most is the mode!

Explanation:

In a perfectly symmetrical distribution, the mean and the median are the same. This example has one mode (unimodal), and the mode is the same as the mean and median. In a symmetrical distribution that has two modes (bimodal), the two modes would be different from the mean and median.

hope this helps you!!
