Subject - Math ( Mean, Median, and Mode ) PLZ write the answer correctly !! The best answer will be marked as Braintlies !!

Answer 1

The mean is all the 6 birds ages added together then divided by how many of the birds there is. The mode is the most occurring number.
Because there is 6 birds having all the ages add up to 60 then dividing it by the 6 will give you the mean 10.
When making those numbers you need to make sure that you have multiple 8’s because that is the mode which means the most occurring number.
The answer could be :
8+8+8+13+12+11
8+8+8+8+18+10
And many more

Answer 2

total ages = 60

Generally, if the mode is 8 would mean there are more than one age of 8

suppose there are two with age 8,

leaving 44 for the other 4

(11 for the average of the remaining 4)

could have 9 and 13, and 8 and 14

so we could have:

8,8,8,9,13,14

or we could have:

8,8,9,10,12,13

check:of the 1st answer

mean = (8+8+8+9+13+14)/6 = 10

the mode is 8
