Begin with the following set of data, call it Data Set I. $$ \begin{array}{lllllllllll} 5 & -2 & 6 & 14 & -3 & 0 & 1 & 4 & 3 & 2 & 5 \end{array} $$ a. Compute the mean, median, and mode. b. Form a new data set, Data Set $11,$ by adding 3 to each number in Data Set $1 .$ Calculate the mean, median, and mode of Data Set II. c. Form a new data set, Data Set III, by subtracting 6 from each number in Data Set 1. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of Data Set III. d. Comparing the answers to parts (a), (b), and (c), can you guess the pattern? State the general principle that you expect to be true.

00:01 So for this problem, we're asked if we want to use the mean, median, or mode.
00:06 So let's look at the different options.
00:08 The first one, we want to know which grade was given most often.
00:11 So this should be the easiest one because we know most often is referring to the mode...
