Starting with the data values 70 and 100, add three data values to the sample so that the mean is 85, the median is 76, and the mode is 76.
-----
Comment: For the mode to be 76 there must be at least 2 of them.
The 3rd number is not determined so let it be "x".
---
mean = (70 + 100 + 76 + 76 + x)/5 = 85
---
(322+x) = 425
x = 103
-----
Set: 70 76 76 85 103
