Q. In a moderately skewed distribution the values of mean and median are 5 and 6 respectively. The value of mode in such a situation is approximately equal to
A) 8
B) 11
C) 16
D) None of these
Explanation
(a)
Given that, mean=5, median=6
For a moderately skewed distribution, we have
Mode =3 median $-$2 mean
$\Rightarrow Mode = 3(6) - 2(5) = 8$
