Question

In a moderately skewed distribution the values of mean and median are $5$ and $6$ respectively. The value of mode for such distribution is:

• A. $8$
• B. $16$
• C. $11$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

Mean $=5$ and Median $=6$

In a moderately skewed distribution,

mode is given by

$Mode=3Median-2Mean$

$\therefore$ Mode $=3\times 6-2\times 5$

$=18-10=8$

Hence Mode $=8$
