Because they are both measures of the same characteristic - the central tendency.
If a data set consists of 1000 different values can the mean and the median be the same
Yes.
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.
mean, median and mode
Yes, the median can be a value that does not belong to the dataset. This often occurs in datasets with an even number of values, where the median is calculated as the average of the two middle values. For example, in the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4}, the median is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5, which is not a member of the dataset.
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
Different fractions are equal to different values.
No, they are different values.
They are called the quartiles. The middle one is also known as the median.
No. Not if there are an even number of observations and the middle two values are unequal.
No, they are different values.
No, they have different values.
