If we have a frequency distribution which is almost, but not quite symmetrical and whose mean and mode are 27 and 29 respectively. What will be the approximate value of the mean?
The mean and mode are different for a distribution that is not perfectly symmetrical. Since the mode is 29 and the mean is 27, it indicates that the distribution is slightly skewed to the left. This means that the mean will be slightly less than the mode.
So, the approximate value of the mean will be slightly less than 29.
