Let the mean and the standard deviation of the observation be 4 and respectively. Then the mean deviation about the mode of these observations is:
- (A)1✓ Correct
- (B)
- (C)2
- (D)
Answer: (A)
Solution
The mean condition gives , and the variance condition reduces, after the six known terms already contribute , to . Hence , so occurs three times and is the mode. The mean deviation about the mode is .
