What is the mean median and mode of a number?
The mean is the average. The median is the middle. The mode is the most common.
Can mean and median ever have the same value?
Yes because if the numbers are all the same they can be both mean and median but they do not have to be the same.
Can the median be greater than the mean in a set of numbers?
No because the mean is the highest numeral and the median is the middle numeral of the set of numbers so it is tecnictly impossible, but if you are using decimals, the median could get pretty close to the mean, but never higher.
What is a set of 5 positive numbers that have median 6 and mean 10?
There can be any number of sets to satisfy this. The median is the number in the middle and the mean is the average of the numbers. 2,4,6,8,30 is one possible set median = 6 mean = 10
Why would you use median instead of mean?
You would use median instead of mean because the median doesn't find the average, it finds the middle value. Even if its not the middle of the range (the exact middle value between the lowest number and the highest number) it still is near to the middle value. The mean finds the average of all the numbers, like when a teacher average's her students' grades. Median is better to use when finding the middle value, not the average.
