Hey!
Examples of data sets can be found at infochimps.com

There can be two modes in a data set. For example, in the data set {0,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,9}, there are two modes: 3 and 5.
Yes, for example this set: 1,2,2,5.
To cite a data set in APA format, include the author, year, title of the data set, publisher, and URL or DOI. For example: Author. (Year). Title of data set. Publisher. URL or DOI.
Discrete data are observations on a variable that which take values from a discrete set.
Arrange the values in your data set in increasing order. The last value is the maximum value. Example: Data set : 3,5,2,4,6 Arranged values : 2,3,4,5,6 Maximum value is 6.
The minimum of a set of numbers is the lowest number of the set. For example, let's say you have a data set like this: 9,7,6,1,3 The minimum would be 1, since it is the lowest number of the data set.
No, they must have a median. However, if the data set is of even order, the median may not belong to the data set. For example, the median of 1,2,3,10 is halfway between 2 and 3 or 2.5 which is not a data point.
mode-the most (highest # in a set of data) median-the middle # when you put a set of data in order from least to greatest let's take for example a reasonable set of 10,3,4,5,7,5,9 3,4,5,5,7,9,10 3,4,5,5,7,9,10 and than your mode 5 because there was two 5's so YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE SAME MEDIAN AND MODE FOR ONE SET OF DATA DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT SET OF DATA IS
The range = the difference between the highest and the lowest values in the data set. For example if I had a data set like this: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 50 is the highest number and 10 is the lowest number. 50-10= 40. 40= the range of the above data set.
Th find the mean of a data set, you add up all the values in the data set and divide this sum by the number of data values. For example, the mean for the data set 2, 5, 6, and 7 is given as 2 plus 5 plus 6 plus 7, which is 20. You divide this sum by number of values in the data set, which is 4 to get 5 as the mean.
The mode is the answer which appears most frequently in a set of data! For example in this data: 2,4,4,6,7,7,7,8,8,9! The mode would be 7!
The mode of a data set is the one item (or number) that appears the most. For example a data set of 1, 3, 3, 5 would have a mode of 3.
