Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Let us consider the data 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 6, 4
Mean of the given data = `(4 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 4)/7` = 4
Mode is the observation that occurs most frequently in the data i.e. 4.
When the given data is arranged in ascending (or descending) order, then the middle most observation is the median of the data.
Arranging the given data, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, and 6.
So, the median is 4.
