The relation between Mean, Median and Mode is:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Linear

For a moderately skewed distribution, the mean, the median and the mode are connected by the empirical relation

• Mode \(=3\,\)Median \(-\;2\,\)Mean

Each of the three measures appears only to the first power, multiplied by a constant, with no squares or cubes, so the relation is linear. It lets one of the three be found when the other two are known; for example, a mean of 20 and a median of 22 give a mode of \(3\times22-2\times20=26\).
