Question

Use the empirical relationship and find the value of mode when the value of median and mean are 6 and 7 respectively.

• A. 7
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4

We know that,

$3\text{Median}=\text{Mode}+2\text{Mean}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Mode}=3\text{Median}-2\text{Mean}$
$=3\times 6-2\times 7$
$=18-14$
$=4$

Therefore, mode = 4
