What is the mean and mode of the data set shown below? {2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 2, 5, 6}

The average is calculated by adding all numbers and dividing by the count:

(2+4+5+6+8+2+5+6)/8 = 38/8 = 4.75

The mode is the number that occurs most often, however, this is the case for 2, 5 and 6. A data set can have multiple modes. 2, 5 and 6 are modes.

Hey there! I'll only explain you how to solve it and you'll have to find the answer yourself so you learn! <3 Anyhow, To simplify a complex fraction here are the steps.

(1) Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

(2) Reduce all fractions when possible.

(3) Find the least common denominator (LCD) of all fractions appearing within the complex fraction.

(4) Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the complex fraction by the LCD.

(5) When possible reduce, simplify and convert to mixed numbers, any final fraction results.

Hope this helps! <3
