Mean: #7#
Median: #6#
Mode: #6#

Explanation:

The mean is the average quantity measures by adding up all the numbers in a given set divided by how many numbers are there in that set:
If we add up all the given numbers, the sum is #35# divided by how many numbers there are in total (#5#) we get #7# as the average.

The median can be found by listing the numbers in numerical order and crossing out a number on each left/right side until a middle number is reached:

#cancel(5),cancel(6),color(red)6,cancel(7),cancel(11)#

The median is #6#

The mode is the number that appears the most in a set. Here, #6# is used twice whereas the other numbers are only used once. Therefore the mode is #6#
