When we find these, we can count, amount and find that the sixth lowest is 57 the seventh lowest is 64 adding those up and dividing by not by 12. Excuse me? My goodness issued. Only beat by two were divided by two. Because we're finding the average of these two points, we want to find what's right in the middle and in the middle of 57 64 this 60.5. So that's your medium. Finally, we want to know the mode and we only have 12 data points here is that we can just look and count the amount.
