Question
The following refer to the following data set:

\[ 34, \; 32, \; 81, \; 60, \; 34, \; 20, \; 28, \; 73, \; 84, \; 91, \; 35 \]

**What is the mean (\(\bar{x}\)) of this data set?**

mean = `[          ]` (Please show your answer to one decimal place.)

**What is the median of this data set?**

median = `[          ]`

**What is the mode of this data set?**

mode = `[          ]`

**Explanation of the Data Set:**

1. **Mean**: The mean is the average value of the data set. To find it, sum all the numbers in the data set and then divide by the count of numbers.
   
2. **Median**: The median is the middle value of the data set when it is ordered from smallest to largest. If the count of numbers is even, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.
   
3. **Mode**: The mode is the number that appears most frequently in the data set. If no number is repeated, the data set has no mode. If multiple numbers have the same highest frequency, all of them are the mode.

These measures of central tendency – mean, median, and mode – provide different insights about the data set, helping in understanding the distribution and central values.
