Question
Using the empirical relationship between the three measures of central tendency, find the median of a distribution, whose mean is 169 and mode is 175.
Solution
Given, We know that, mean= 169 and mode = 175
∴ 3 Median = 2 Mean + Mode
Median = `(2 "Mean" + "Mode")/3`
= `(2 xx 169 + 175)/3`
= `(338 + 175)/3`
= `513/3`
= 171
