When you calculate mean is the answer same when the same data is calculated by median?

No.
The mean and median are not necessarily the same. They will be the same if the distribution is symmetric but the converse is not necessarily true. That is to say, a distribution does not have to be symmetric for the mean and median to be the same.
For example, the mean and median of {1, 1, 5, 6, 12} are both 5 but the distribution is NOT symmetric.

Is mean medain standard deviation calculated as continuous data in statistics?
You can calculate the mean, median, and std dev for discrete or continuous data. Each type has its own set of formulas.
Does all data have a mean median or mode?
No, not all data sets have a mode but all data sets have a mean and median.
How do you calculate the deviation?
Deviations are calculated from some value: the mean, the median, the maximum or whatever. You subtract that value from each observed value.
Can you calculate the mode mean and median of goals scored in a month?
You can calculate the mode, mean and median of any set of integers.
Can ypu find the mean and median with data from a histogram?
You can estimate the median and the mean.
Should The mean or median be used in ordinal data?
The median is used when reporting ordinal data.
How do you calculate mean and Median smaller then Standard deviation?
In the same way that you calculate mean and median that are greater than the standard deviation!
For a distribution always mean exists?
No, not always. It depends on the type of data you collect. If it is quantitative data, you will be able to calculate a mean. If it is qualitative data, a mean can't be calculated but you can describe the data in terms of a mode.
Can a mean and SD be calculated from median and IQR?
No.
Are the mean median and mode always numbers from a list of data?
the median and mode are but the mean is not
What is mean and median?
mean~ all the numbers in the data added together divided by the number of data. The mean is the same as the average. median~ the exact middle of the set of data. Example: 1,1,2,2, the median is 1.5 mean- the average median- the middle number in a set of numbers in a group.Example of Median-1,3,5,7,9,4,5 (put them in order and list them from least to greatest)1,3,4,5,5,7,9the median is 5!
