The median is the middle number of a set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two.
Ex. 10, 17, 20, 45, 68
The median is 20.
The mean is the average, which is the total of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are.
Ex. 10, 17, 20, 45, 68
68 + 45 + 20 + 17 + 10 = 160
There are 5 numbers in this set.
160/5 = 32
The mean is 32.

What three numbers have a mean of 3 a median of 3 and a range of 3?
1st no.= 3 2nd no.=3 3rd no.=3
What is the median if there is an even amount of numbers?
If you have numbers like 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 the median would be between 3 and 4 so the median would be 3.5
What values can Mean Absolute Percentage Error take?
0 to Infinity
What is the median of 48 64 80 48?
Median means being in the middle. 48, 64 X 80, 48 ? An example: 17, 20, 36 the median is 20
What is the median of the factors of 16?
The median of the factors of any square number is its square root, in this case, 4.
Find the mean,median,mode and range of the following values:17,7,11,13,2,12,7.?
What is the answer
Can the mean be smaller than the median for a set of data?
Yes. If the lower values tend to be farther below the median than the highest values are above the median, the mean is smaller than the median. why are write wrong
Is the mean and median similar?
The Mean is the average of a given set of values. The Median is the value that has the same number of smaller values than the number of higher values, it is in the middle of them. In a symmetrical distribution the Mean is equal to the Median. In an asymmetrical distribution they have different value.
Is the mean equal to the median in a data set consisting of 1000 values that are all different?
If a data set consists of 1000 different values can the mean and the median be the same
Multiple values for the same set of numbers mean median or mode?
Any set of numbers can have only one mean and only one median but it can have as many modes as it has values.
If the mean of a symmetric distribution is 130 which of these values could be the median of the distribution?
If it is a symmetric distribution, the median must be 130.
You are trying to do a mean problem but you have 2 numbers in the middle what do you do?
You may be confusing mean with median. An arithmetic mean is, the sum of all the values ÷ the number of values. Consequently the number of values can be either odd or even. After arranging a set of values in ascending (or descending) order, the median is the value that lies half way along the series. When there are an even number of values the median is found by taking the mean of the middle two values. Example : 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8 The median of this set is (5 + 7) ÷ 2 = 6
Can the median ever be higher than the mean?
Yes, the median can be greater than the mean. It just depends on the values of the data. A simple series of 1,5,6 has 5 as the median, with a mean of 4.
What does the maths term median mean?
It is the value of all numbers in the range in which there are as many values above it as there are below it. For example for the ordered values 1,3,7,9,10,12,15,19,21 the median value is 10. It is not he same as the mean, or average, which is the sum divided by the number of values.
What is generally correct about the relation between the mode median and mean?
Of a set of data the mode is the most, the median is the middle value in ascending order and the mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
In a normal curve what three values are equal?
mean, median and mode
Why calculate for the mean and median in relation to a sample?
Both the mean and median represent the center of a distribution. Calculating the mean is easier, but may be more affected by outliers or extreme values. The median is more robust.
