The number of accidents at a dangerous intersection in Smalltown during each of the last six years is as follows: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5. For this data set, the standard deviation of the number of accidents in a year (rounded to the nearest tenth) is: (a) Mean < Median < Mode (b) Mean < Mode < Median (c) Median < Mean < Mode (d) Mode < Mean < Median (e) Mode < Median < Mean

Respuesta :

Answer: Option 'e' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The number of accidents in Small  town during the last six years as follows:

0,1,1,2,3,5.

First we calculate :

1) Mean :

[tex]\bar{X}=\dfrac{0+1+1+2+3+5}{6}=\dfrac{12}{6}=2[/tex]

2) Median:

0,1,1,2,3,5

As we know that "Median" is the middle value of data:

Median = [tex]\dfrac{1+2}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]

3) Mode:

0,1,1,2,3,5

As we know that Mode is the most occurring element among the data.

So, Mode = 1

Now, we can say that Mode< Median < Mean

Hence, Option 'e' is correct.

Answer:

Correct answer is (E)
