Question
Find a certain frequency distribution, the value of mean and mode are 54.6 and 54 respectively. Find the value of median.
Solution
Mean = 54.6 and Mode = 54 Median = ?
Mean - Mode = 3 (Mean - Median)
54.6 - 54 = 3 (54.6 - Median)
`therefore = (0.6)/3` = 54.6 - median
Median = 54.6 - 0.2
Median = 54.4
