    Question

    For a symmetric distribution, the empirical relationship between mean,median and mode is :

    A.

    Mean = Median = Mode

    B.

    Mean > Median > Mode

    C.

    Mode - Mean = 3(Mean - Median)

    D.

    Mode - Mean = 3(Median - Mean)

    Correct option is A

    For a symmetric distribution, the correct answer is option (a) Mean = Median = Mode.
    Solution:
    In a symmetric distribution:
    The data is evenly distributed around the central value.
    The mean, median, and mode coincide and are equal, as there is no skewness.
    In a positively skewed distribution, Mean > Median > Mode.
    In a negatively skewed distribution, Mode > Median > Mean.
    However, in a symmetric distribution, there is no skewness, and the central tendencies align perfectly: Mean = Median = Mode
