Example Question #2 : Mode

Consider the following dataset:

$\{ -2 , 0 , 1, -4 , 6 , -2, 3 \}$

The arithmetic mean of the dataset is .

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:

y< w< x< z

w < y < x < z

w< y< z< x

y < w < z < x

w < x < y < z

Correct answer:

w < y < x < z

Explanation:

In general:

$\mbox{ (arithmetic mean) } = \dfrac{ \mbox{ sum of all values } }{ \mbox{ number of observations } }$

In this case the mean is:

$x = \dfrac{(-2)+0+1+(-4)+6+(-2)+3}{7} = 0.286$

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

$\{ -4,-2,-2,0,1,3,6 \}$

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

y=0

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

z = 6-(-4) = 10

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

w=-2

Since:

-2 < 0 < 0.286 < 10

we can conclude:

w<y<x<z
