Median is often in the middle, so D could be true too!

Wait, how can the mean be less than the mode? That sounds off.

The mode is usually the most common, right?

I vaguely remember that in a positively skewed distribution, the mean is greater than the median. So maybe option A could be correct?

I feel like the median is usually in the middle, but I can't recall if it’s always less than the mean. This is tricky!

I think we practiced a similar question where the mean was greater than the median. I might lean towards option B, but I’m not completely confident.

I remember we discussed how the mode is often less than the median in skewed distributions, but I'm not sure about the mean.

No problem, I've got this. The mode is the most frequent value, the median is the middle value, and the mean is the average. I just need to plug those into the inequalities and select the right one.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll start by sorting the data and finding the median, then calculate the mean and mode to see which inequality holds true.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this. I'll need to review my notes on measures of central tendency to make sure I'm calculating them correctly.

This looks like a straightforward statistics problem. I'll need to calculate the mode, median, and mean from the given data to determine which inequality is true.

D. Median < Mode < Mean. This makes the most sense to me based on the information provided. The mode is the most common household size, the median is the middle value, and the mean is pulled up by the larger households.

It's important to consider the distribution of household sizes when determining the order of mode, median, and mean.

I'm not sure about this one. The distribution seems a bit complicated, but I'm leaning towards C. Median < Mean < Mode. The median should be in the middle, with the mean a bit higher and the mode being the highest.

I think the answer is B. Mode < Mean < Median. The distribution shows more households have fewer people, so the mode should be less than the mean, which should be less than the median.
