Question

For the set of numbers 2,2,4,5 and 12, which of the following statements is true?

• A. Mean = Median
• B. Mean > Mode
• C. Mean < Median
• D. Mode = Median

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Mean > Mode

The given set is 2,2,4,5,12.

Mean $=\frac{2+2+4+5+12}{5}=\frac{25}{5}=5$

Median is $\frac{5+1}{2}$th, i.e., 3rd term which is equal to 4.

Mode = 2

Hence, Mean > Mode.
