For the data 2,3,3,4,5: 1. The mode is 3. 2. The median is 3.

Single correct option

Consider the following statements for the data 2,3,3,4,52,3,3,4,5:
1. The mode is 33.
2. The median is 33.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
  1. A. 1 only
  2. B. 2 only
  3. C. Both 1 and 2
  4. D. Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2

The value 33 occurs twice and the rest once, so the mode is 33. The middle (third) value of the ordered data is 33, so the median is also 33. Both statements are true even though the mean is 3.43.4.
