Question

Gio weighed five boxes before he shipped them the weights were 52,48,48,54, and 50

Answer 1

Correct question:

Gio weighed five boxes before he shipped them. The weights were: 52,48,48,54, and 50. Which statement is true?

A) The mode is equal to the minimum

B)  The mode is greater than the mean

C)  The median and mode are equal

D) The mean is less than the medium

Given:

The weights of five boxes are 52,48,48,54, and 50

To find:

Relations between mean, median and mode

Calculation:

Mode of the data will be a most repeating element in the set, therefore 48 will be the mode

The total number of given numbers is 5, therefore central element will be the median, i.e., 48

=> Mean of the data = Sum of numbers / n

                                  = 52+48+48+54+50 / 5

                                  = 50.4

=> Mode of the data is 48 and the minimum number is 48, therefore mode and the minimum are equal

=> Mode of the data is 48 and the mean is 50.4, therefore mean is greater than the mode

=> Mode is 48 and the median is 48, therefore mode and the median are equal

Options A, C, D are correct
