Question

The median will always be less than the mean.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

There is no rule that the mean should be less than or greater than the median all the time. It will depend on the data. If the data has a few extreme low values while the rest are all in the same range, then the mean will be less than the median. But if there are a few extreme high values and the rest are in the same range, then the mean will be higher than the median.
