Final answer:

The mode of the number of peas in a pod is 7, the median is 6, and the mean is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mode of the number of peas in a pod, we need to determine the value that appears most frequently in the dataset. The dataset is as follows: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. From this dataset, the mode is 7 since it appears the most frequently.

To find the median of the number of peas in a pod, we need to arrange the dataset in ascending order: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The median is the middle value, and since we have an odd number of values, the median is 6.

To find the mean of the number of peas in a pod, we need to sum all the values in the dataset and divide it by the total number of values. The sum of the dataset is 30 (4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8) and since there are 5 values in total, the mean is 30/5 = 6.

Mode is most occurring

There is no mode for the peas as there is no score occurring more than once


Median is middle number

So cross of 4 and 5, and 7 and 8

Median is 6


Mean is average


4+5+6+7+8 divided by five


Mean is 6
