Mean: 77
Median: 66
Mode: 66

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 3535 divided by how many numbers there are in total (55) we get 77 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
