Chapter 2: Q. 62 (page 137)

Describe the relationship between the mode and the median of this distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

mode=7is greater than median=6.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

If the distribution of data is skewed to the right, the mode is generally less than the median, which is less than the mean. The mode = the median = the mean if the data distribution is symmetric.

02

Content Explanation

The median is calculated using the below formula:

Median=sizeofN+12thterm

Median=sizeof15+12thterm=sizeof8thitemcumulativefrequency8liesinx=6

The mode is one that has a maximum frequency.

Therefore, the mode is 7

Hence, mode is greater than median.
