Statistica Neerlandica, 1980, vol. 34, issue 1, 13-18

Abstract: Summary While studying the median of the binomial distribution we discovered that the mean median‐mode inequality, recently discussed in. Statistics Neerlandica by Runnen‐burg 141 and Van Zwet [7] for continuous distributions, does not hold for the binomial distribution. If the mean is an integer, then mean = median = mode. In theorem 1 a sufficient condition is given for mode = median = rounded mean. If median and mode differ, the mean lies in between.
