Also, something like
1,1, 4,4,4, 7,7

The mean of a set is simply the average. Add the set and divide by the total number of numbers in the set.
The median is found, for an even number of numbers, by adding the middle two numbers in the set and dividing by two, for an odd number of numbers, the median is simply the middle number in the set.
The mode is just the number that shows up most frequently within a set.
What your question is asking for is for you to come up with a set for which all three measures of central tendency, mean, median, and mode, are equal.

The mean is the average. It can be found by dividing the sum of all of the numbers, by then number of numbers.
The media is the middle number. (1,2,5,15,32 - Median is 5)
The mode is the number that occurs the most. (1,14,95,1,2,7,3,1 - Mode is 1)
