Question
For the set of numbers 2, 2, 4, 5 and 12, which of the following statements is true?
Options
Mean = Median
Mean > Mode
Mean > Mode
Mode = Median
Solution
For the data 2, 2, 4, 5, 12 of 5 numbers, we have
`MEAN = (2+2+4+5+12)/5`
`=25/5`
= 5
`MEDIAN = ((5+1)/2)^(th) ` value
=3nd value
= 4
Since, 2 occurs maximum number of times, MODE=2
MEAN > MODE
