Question

If mean and mode of a data are respectively 24 and 12 then what is median of the data

Answer 1

Answer:

the median of the data is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 24, Mode = 12. Divide both sides by 3. Therefore the median of the data is 20

Answer 2

formula to find median if mode and mean is given: MEAN - MODE = 3 (MEAN-MEDIAN)

solution:

24 - 12 = 3 ( 24 - Median) (According to formula)

12 = 72 -3 Median

12 - 72 = 3 Median

60 = 3 Median

60/3 = Median

20 = Median

Median=20 (bringing 20 to Right hand side)

=>MEDIAN IS 20
