I am attempting to make three data sets that conform to the following expectations using as many or as few numbers in each data set. Data Set #1: Make the mean larger than the median but the mode less than the median (Mode < Median < Mean).  Data Set #2: Make the mean larger than the median and the mode larger than the mean (Median < Mean < Mode).  Data Set #3: Make the mean less than the median and the mode less than the mean (Median > Mean > Mode).  How do I compute the mean, median, and mode for each data set. How do would I show all calculations?

Question

I am attempting to make three data sets that conform to the following expectations using as many or as few numbers in each data set.

  • Data Set #1: Make the mean larger than the median but the mode less than the median (Mode < Median < Mean). 
  • Data Set #2: Make the mean larger than the median and the mode larger than the mean (Median < Mean < Mode). 
  • Data Set #3: Make the mean less than the median and the mode less than the mean (Median > Mean > Mode). 

How do I compute the mean, median, and mode for each data set. How do would I show all calculations?
