LINQ makes this easy.
var mean = myIntArray.Average();
var duplicates = from val in myIntArray group val by val into result where result.Count() > 1 select new { Item = val.Key, ItemCount = val.Count() };
foreach(var i in duplicates){ Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("The word {0} has {1} number of occurrences ", i.Item, i.ItemCount)); }

I find asking questions about technology is more valuable when interviewing a coder's skillset. Probably because I feel comfortable knowing what answers are relevant and revealing.
Many interviewees find coding exercises too nerve-racking, even some who shouldn't be intimidated at all. I might save that for a leadership role interview. Not sure.
