Question

The mode of a distribution is 24 and the mean is 60. What is its median?
1. 48
2. 50
3. 45
4. 51

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 48

Given:

Mode = 24

Mean = 60

Formula used:

Mean - Mode = 3(Mean - median)

Calculation:

Let Median be x.

(60 - 24) = 3(60 - x)

⇒ 36/3 = (60 - x)

⇒ 12 = (60 - x)

⇒ 60 - 12 = x

⇒ x = 48

∴ The median is 48.
