Answer 1

Answer:

mode: 22

mean: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

For mode, look for the number that occurs the most (22). I remember this because MODE kinda sounds like MOST. Remember that the mean is just another word for average. I remember this because I think its MEAN that they'd make another word for average, although the term average is way easier to remember. So, add all numbers (525) and divide them by 25.

525 divided by 25= 21

(it might be safe to double check my work)
