You can put this solution on YOUR website! Starting with the data values 70 and 100, add three data values to the sample so that the mean is 76, the median is 83, and the mode is 83. Please show all of your work.
----
If the mode is 83, there must be at least 2 data values of 83,
---
So you have 70,100,83,83,and x
-----------------------------------
mean = (70+100+2*83+x)/5 = 76
-----
336+x = 380
x = 44
----
The Data set is 44,70,83,83,100
=================================
