Any set of numbers can have only one mean and only one median but it can have as many modes as it has values.

What is a median?
The median of a set of values is the quantity at the mid-point, when the values are in ascending numerical order. For example, the median of the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is 5. When there is an even number of terms, the median is the mean of the middle two terms. For example, the median of the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 is 4.
How does the mean compare to the median?
The mean and the median are both involved with a set of numbers. The mean refers to the average of the numbers. The median refers to the middle number of the numbers
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
How does the mean and the median compare?
mean is the average of a bunch of numbers. the median is the middle number of the bunch. if the bunch has an even amount of numbers, you average the middle 2 numbers to get the median.
What if there are 2 numbers in the median?
If there are 2 numbers as the median, you find the mean of those 2 numbers. (add both numbers and divide by 2)
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 the median between 500 and 1 million?
To find the median of an even number of values, you need to take the mean of the 2 middle numbers. Since there is only 2 numbers, take the mean to find the median. The median is (500 + 1M)/2 = 500250.
What does mean median in math?
The term median refers to an average value indicated by the middle number or numbers in a series. It can be different from the "mean", which is the average value found by adding the numbers and dividing.Where there is an odd number of values, the median is the central (middle) value.For example, in the set [ 1, 2, 7, 50, 100 ] the median value is 7. There will be as many values less than the median as there are greater than the median. (if you have duplicate values, more than one may be equal to the median)Where there is an even number of values, the median is the mean (average) of the two central values. For example, in the set [ 1, 2, 7, 9, 50, 100 ], there are two central values, 7 and 9. The median would be 8, and again there will be as many values less than the median as there are greater than the median.To find the median : put your numbers in order by their value, and count the number of values. Divide the number of values by two to locate the center value or values. Where the number of values is even, add and average the two in the middle.Example : values [ 27, 18, 3, 99, 55, 1, 16 ]Ordered set : [ 1, 3, 16, 18, 27, 55, 99 ]Median : 18

The median of a set of values is the quantity at the mid-point, when the values are in ascending numerical order. For example, the median of the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is 5. When there is an even number of terms, the median is the mean of the middle two terms. For example, the median of the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 is 4.
What does these values mean median and mean mean?
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.
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
What is the definition of mean of all values in a population?
the mean is the average of the values of a population. the mean of 2, 8, 11 would be 7 while the median (equal numbers of values above and below) would be 8
How do you find out a median of a set of numbers?
If you order the numbers from the higher to the lowest, the median is the number separating the lower half of the numbers from the higher half of the numbers in the set. If you have an odd number of elements in the set then the median is in the middle of this descending ordered numbers. If you have an even number of elements then, in order to determine the median, you calculate the mean of the two middle values.
How does the mean compare to the median?
The mean and the median are both involved with a set of numbers. The mean refers to the average of the numbers. The median refers to the middle number of the numbers
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.
