The median of the dataset is .

The range of the dataset is .

The mode of the dataset is .

Which of the following statements is true?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In general:

In this case the mean is:

To obtain the median, arrange the observations from smallest to largest:

When there is an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value. In this case:

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest value:

The mode is the value that occurs most often in the dataset:

Since:

we can conclude:

### Example Question #5 : How To Find Mode

What is the mode of the data set?
