Answer:

(B) the mean is less than the mode and less than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean, Median, Mode is used to calculate the central tendency of the distribution.

Mean is defined as,

Mean = \dfrac{Sum of all observation}{Total number of observation}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = \dfrac{4+1+7+6+8+2+7}{7}

∴ Mean = 5

Median is the middle observation of the distribution after arranging it in ascending or descending order.

So, arranging distribution in ascending order we get,

$1, $2, $4, $6, $7, $7, $8

Also, a number of observation is 7 which is an odd number.

Hence, Median = (\frac{Number of observation + 1}{2})^{th} term

⇒ Median = (\frac{7 + 1}{2})^{th} term

⇒ Median = 4th term = 6

Mode is the observation which has highest frequency.

Here, only $7 is repeated 2 times.

Hence, Mode = 7.

Hence, we see that Mean < Median < Mode

So, Option (B) is correct i.e. mean is less than the mode and less than the median.
