SOLUTION: For the set of numbers 2, 2, 4, 5, and 12, which statement is true? (A) Mean = Median (B) Mean > Mode (C) Mean < Mode (D) Mode = Median (E) Mean = Mode

Question 309580: For the set of numbers 2, 2, 4, 5, and 12, which statement is true?
(A) Mean = Median (B) Mean > Mode (C) Mean < Mode (D) Mode = Median
(E) Mean = Mode

2, 2, 4, 5, and 12

mean = (2 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 12) / 5 = 25/5 = 5
median = 4 (the value in the middle of the sequence)
mode = 2 (appears twice)

so, the correct answer is mean > mode (B)
