Question

determine whether the statement is true or false. if the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement.
a data set can contain more than one median, or no median at all.
choose the correct answer below
a. the statement is true
b. the statement is false to make the statement true, change \can\ to \must\
c. the statement is false to make the statement true, change \median\ to \mode\ in each instance
d. the statement is false to make the statement true, remove \or no median at all\

Explanation:

The median is the middle value when the data is ordered. For any dataset (after proper ordering), there is exactly one median. However, the mode (the most frequently occurring value) can have more than one value (in case of multimodal data) or no mode (if all values occur with the same frequency). So, by changing "median" to "mode", the statement becomes correct.

Answer:

C. The statement is false. To make the statement true, change "median" to "mode" in each instance.
