The results are shown in the table below:

Interval1234567
Counts18111211251513

Which option gives the correct values for the mean, median, and mode of this dataset?

Mean = 151515, median = 131313, mode = 111111

Mean = 151515, median = 111111, mode = 131313

Mean = 131313, median = 151515, mode = 111111

Mean = 151515, median = 111111, mode = 111111
