Answer:

mean: 23 median: 24 mode: 24 so your answer will be D 23,24,24

Explanation:

to find the mean of a data set you will Add up all data values to get the sum. then count the number of values in your data set. and lastley divide the sum by the count. so add 24,20,26,24,and 21 all together and you get 115. then count how many numbers there are. there are 5 numbers. then divide 115 by 5 and the answer will be 23. 23 is the mean. How to find the median. Arrange the numbers from lowest to highest value. so 20,21,24,24,26 The median is the data value in the middle of the set. id there is an odd number of data values then there will only be one median. if there is an even number there will be two medians if there are two numbers for the median add those two numbers together and then divide the sum by 2. there are five numbers in the data set. there will be one number for the median (or middle number) because 5 is odd. 24 is the middle since if you cover the number 24 you'll see that there are two numbers on either side of the 24. those numbers are 20 and 21 of the left side and 24 and 26 on the right side. therefore 24 is your median. Mode is easier the mode is the number that occurs the most. 24 occurs the most as it is in the data set 2 times and the rest only show up 1 times. In conclusion the mean is 23 the median is 24 an the mode is 24. Have a great day and tell me if i am wrong.
