Question

explain what is wrong, if anything, with the given statements. explain your reasoning.
for the data 6, 7, 12, 12, and 15, the mean is
\\(\frac{6 + 7 + 12 + 12 + 15}{5} = 10.4\\).
the median is \\(\frac{7 + 12}{2} = \frac{19}{2}\\), and the mode is 12.
\\(\bigcirc\\) the given statements are true.
\\(\bigcirc\\) false; the mean is 10.5,
\\(\bigcirc\\) false; the median is 12.
\\(\bigcirc\\) false; there is no mode.

Step1: Check the mean calculation

First, calculate the sum of the data: \(6 + 7 + 12 + 12 + 15 = 52\)? Wait, no, \(6+7 = 13\), \(13+12 = 25\), \(25+12 = 37\), \(37+15 = 52\)? Wait, no, wait \(6 + 7+12+12+15 = 6 + 7 = 13\), \(13 + 12 = 25\), \(25 + 12 = 37\), \(37 + 15 = 52\)? Wait, but \(52\div5 = 10.4\)?
