Question

Calculate the mean where mode and median are given as $12$ and $5$ respectively.

• A. $0.5$
• B. $1.5$
• C. $2.5$
• D. $3.5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.5$

Applying the relation between mean, median and mode formula,
Mean $=$ $\frac{(3\times Median)-Mode}{2}$
$=$ $\frac{(3\times 5)-12}{2}$
$=$ $\frac{3}{2}$
Mean $=1.5$
