Answer: the missing numbers are 6 and 3
Explanation:
Given that mean of five numbers is 3
Mode is 1, means that 1 appeared more than once in the data set
And median is 4, means the middle number is 4
Therefore, it can be represented as 1, 1, 4, p, q
Where p and q are the missing numbers
Mean (3) = 1 + 1+ 4+ p+ q/5
3 =6 + p + q/5
We cross multiply to give:
5 x 3 = 6 + p + q
15= 6 + p +q
Make p + q the subject :
p + q = 15 - 6
= 9
The sum of the two missing numbers equals 9, we can think of two numbers that equals 9.
However, we cannot use 5 and 4, because we already have the mode given as 1
We therefore use 6 and 3, 7 and 2 or 8 and 1
I hope this helps, please mark as brainliest answer.
