Mean for 10 numbers = 7
So sum of the numbers = 7 * 10 = 70
Median of 10 numbers = 8
Meaning %285th+number+%2B+6th+number%29%2F2+=+8 (since total number of numbers = 10, an even number)
So, 5th number + 6th number = 8 * 2 = 16
Mode = 3
Meaning 3 repeats the most
So one data set can be:
1, 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12
(There are several data set possible)
