Solution

Mean, median, and mode are different measures of center in a numerical data set. They each try to summarize a dataset with a single number to represent a "typical" data point from the dataset.
Mean: The "average" number; found by adding all data points and dividing by the number of data points.

Median: The middle number; found by ordering all data points and picking out the one in the middle (or if there are two middle numbers, taking the mean of those two numbers).

Mode: The most frequent number—that is, the number that occurs the highest number of times.
The empirical formula is : 3 median = mode + 2 mean

Q. For a symmetrical frequency distribution, we have:
(a) mean < mode < median
(b) mean > mode > median
(c) mean = mode = median
(d) mode =

Q. In a moderately skewed distribution the values of mean and median are

4

and

5

respectively. The value of mode is approx.

How can we find mode if two classes have the highest and same frequency? How can we identify the median class if two classes are equally near to $\frac{n}{2}$ ?

Q. For a frequency distribution, mean, median and mode are connected by the relation

(a) Mode = 3 Mean − 2 Median
(b) Mode = 2 Median − 3 Mean
(c) Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean
(d) Mode = 3 Median + 2 Mean
