    To find the


    Mean(average): Add all numbers then divide by how many numbers given.


    Median:  Find the number in the middle. If there's two middle numbers, add both numbers then divide by two.


    Mode:  The number given most. If there's more than one mode, write them separated by comma.


    Answer:


    Mean:  405/25 = 16.2


    Median:  17 (Since the numbers given is an odd number(25 numbers given), there is only 1 median. You will have the same amount of numbers on the right and left, leaving the number in the middle. 25 is an odd number so, count the first 12 numbers then SKIP THE NEXT NUMBER (17) and you will have 12 numbers remaining.


    Mode: 19 The number19 is given 5 times.

    This should help you to find the answer (we do not do homework here) http://www.purplemath.com/modules/meanmode.htm

    yes I can, you see if you have eight different numbers, then you pick the middle one for the median. so in this case 11, 12 , 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 pick the middle one. Sorry if im wrong but it might be seventeen or sixteen

    I can not say if your answer is correct or not. I do not remember doing anything like this in school. That's why I wanted you to explain how you got your answer before anyone took it as the correct one.
