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

Answer 1

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

=3^nd value 

= 4

Since, 2 occurs maximum number of times, MODE=2 

MEAN > MODE
