Mode, median...

by avenus » Sun May 31, 2009 10:48 am
The mode of a set of integers is x. What is the difference between the median of this set of integers and x ?

(1) The difference between any two integers in the set is less than 3.
(2) The average of the set of integers is x.

Looks like B

From 1, all we get is range of set of integers is less than 3 we dont get any information nabout median

From 2, when average and mode are x , I guess all numbers have to be x and hence median is x, so difference between median and x =0
