    Question

    If the mode of a data exceeds its mean by 12.6, then the mode exceeds the median by _____.
    (Use empirical formula.)

    A.

    15.9

    B.

    17.6

    C.

    18.2

    D.

    8.4

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Mode exceeds the Mean by 12.6

    Concept Used:

    Empirical Formula: Mode = 3 × Median – 2 × Mean

    Solution:

    Let Mean = M

    Then, Mode = M + 12.6

    Using the formula:

    M + 12.6 = 3 × Median – 2M

    => 3 × Median = 3M + 12.6

    => Median = M + 4.2

    So, Mode – Median = (M + 12.6) – (M + 4.2) = 8.4

    Mode exceeds the Median by 8.4
