If mode and mean of a data are 18 and 21 respectively, then median of…

The correct answer is Option (3) → 20

For a moderately skewed distribution the three averages are linked by the empirical relation Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean.

• Putting in mode 18 and mean 21: \(18=3\times\text{Median}-2\times21\)

• \(3\times\text{Median}=18+42=60\)

• Median \(=\) 20
