In case of a moderately skewed distribution, the difference between mean and mode is almost equal to three times the difference between the mean and median.
Mean – Mode = 3 (Mean – Median)
CALCULATIONS:
Given, Mean = 12.5
Median = 10
Mode = x
(Mean – Mode) = 3 (Mean – Median)
∴ (12.5 – x) = 3 (12.5 – 10)
Mode, x = 5
