First sort the numbers into ascending order (from least to greatest):
31,32,33,34,35,36,37

To find the mean, add up all of the numbers and divide the sum by the number of numbers (which in this case is 7).
Mean=%2831%2B32%2B33%2B34%2B35%2B36%2B37%29%2F7=238%2F7=34

So the mean is 34


To find the median, count off about 3 spaces(it's close to half of the size of the list) until you hit the middle number. Now count count off about 3 spaces from the end of the list until you hit the middle.
31, 32, 33, highlight%2834%29, 35, 36, 37
Median=34

So the median is 34



To find the mode, simply look for any repeating numbers. If there is one number that occurs more frequently than any other number, then that number is the mode.
Since there isn't a number that repeats itself more than once, there isn't a mode in this list
