Question of The Day01-03-2021

In a moderately skewed distribution, ratio of mean and median is 4 : 5. What is the ratio of mean and mode?

Answer

Correct Answer : a ) 3 : 4

Explanation :

The empirical relationship between Mean, mode and median for a moderately skewed distribution is given as

Mean – Mode = 3 (Mean – Median)

According to the question,

Ration of mean and median = 4 : 5

Let us assume mean = 4x and median = 5x

Thus,

⇒ 4x – Mode = 3 (4x – 5x)

⇒ Mode = 4x + 3x = 7x

Therefore, ratio between mean and mode will be 4x : 7x = 4 : 7

Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
