Mean, median and mode (central tendency)

Explanation:

Your mean (average) is 4.05
Your mode is 7 (repeated 4 times) (one mode)
Your median is 4.

It seems that your data is not normal.

Range, variance and standard deviation (dispersion)

Your range is 10 (10-0)
Your variance is 8.017
Your standard deviation is 2.83

It is pretty dispersed.
