What is the relationship between mean, median, and mode for a moderately skewed distribution?

  • A.Mode = 3 median - 2 mean
  • B.Mean = 3 median - 2 mode
  • C.Median = 3 mode - 2 mean
  • D.Mode = 2 median - 3 mean

Answer: A

For a moderately skewed distribution the three averages satisfy the empirical relation

\[ \text{Mode} = 3\,\text{Median} - 2\,\text{Mean} \]

It says the mode lies about twice as far from the mean as the median does, on the same side.
