1. Problem Description

We are given a set of numbers: 3, 8, 5, 6, 7, 4,

4. We need to find the mean, median, mode, and range of this data set.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:
3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Mean:
The mean is the average of the numbers. To find the mean, we sum up the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers in the set.
Mean=3+8+5+6+7+4+47=3775.3Mean = \frac{3+8+5+6+7+4+4}{7} = \frac{37}{7} \approx 5.3
Median:
The median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Since there are 7 numbers, the median is the 4th number.
In the ordered set 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, the median is
5.
Mode:
The mode is the number that appears most frequently in the set.
In the set 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, the number 4 appears twice, which is more than any other number.
Therefore, the mode is
4.
Range:
The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the set.
Range=Largest numberSmallest numberRange = Largest \ number - Smallest \ number
Range=83=5Range = 8 - 3 = 5

3. Final Answer

Mean = 5.3
Median = 5
Mode = 4
Range = 5
