1. Given the data points: $x-2$, $x+5$, $x+3$, $3x-4$, $2x+7$, the mean is given as 7.
2. The formula for the mean of $n$ data points $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$ is:
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_n}{n}$$
3. Substitute the data points and mean value:
$$7 = \frac{(x-2) + (x+5) + (x+3) + (3x-4) + (2x+7)}{5}$$
4. Simplify the numerator:
$$(x-2) + (x+5) + (x+3) + (3x-4) + (2x+7) = x - 2 + x + 5 + x + 3 + 3x - 4 + 2x + 7$$
Combine like terms:
$$x + x + x + 3x + 2x = 8x$$
$$-2 + 5 + 3 - 4 + 7 = 9$$
So the sum is:
$$8x + 9$$
5. Set up the equation:
$$7 = \frac{8x + 9}{5}$$
Multiply both sides by 5:
$$35 = 8x + 9$$
6. Solve for $x$:
$$8x = 35 - 9 = 26$$
$$x = \frac{26}{8} = \frac{13}{4} = 3.25$$
7. To find the median, first substitute $x=3.25$ into the data points:
$$(3.25 - 2) = 1.25$$
$$(3.25 + 5) = 8.25$$
$$(3.25 + 3) = 6.25$$
$$(3 \times 3.25 - 4) = 9.75 - 4 = 5.75$$
$$(2 \times 3.25 + 7) = 6.5 + 7 = 13.5$$
8. Arrange the data in ascending order:
$$1.25, 5.75, 6.25, 8.25, 13.5$$
The median is the middle value (3rd value):
$$\text{Median} = 6.25$$
9. The mode is the value that appears most frequently. Since all values are distinct, there is no mode.
Final answers:
$$x = 3.25$$
$$\text{Median} = 6.25$$
$$\text{Mode} = \text{None}$$
