21. Mean=(5+4+10+12+1+5+3+7+15+8)/10=7
Mode=5 (it is the most repeated value)
For median, first arrange the values in ascending order: 1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15. Now, 5 and 7 are the middle values. The average is: (5+7)/2=6. Therefore, 6 is the median. Hence, mean, mode, and median are 7, 5, 6 respectively.
