I'd say the data is symmetrical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then it would be C?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i think either the mode is 12 or there is no mode

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was B

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes i think it must be B

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

because the data is symetrical

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

perhaps if you read this http://everythingmaths.co.za/maths/grade-11/11-statistics/11-statistics-05.cnxmlplus

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I'd suggest you challenge the question, I could produce a symmetrical data set where the mode median and mean are equation.
