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.
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.
Can a median ever be higher than a mean?
Yes. For example, if you have the following set of numbers: 1 3 5 6 7. Mean=4.4, Median=5.
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.
How do you interpret the fact that average house prices in the US have been in the recent past 20-30 percent higher than median prices?
Average price higher than median price in this situation means that there was a number of EXTREMALLY expensive homes sold, way, way, higher than the median price, which skewed the average to the upside. There is a cluster of "average" properties around the mean, but a significant number of million dollar / pound houses than pull house price averages up. The mean is also higher than the median in the UK by about 20% - see Zoopla data that shows average house price as about 200k vs median.
What is the definition of mean and median in math?
Mean is the average, and median is the middle number.
Why mean is higher than median?
it is a divison
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.
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 do median mean in maths?
median is the middle number mean is average mode is most median is middle range is high - low
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
What is the median of 98 101?
The median average of a set of numbers is the middle number when the numbers are listed in order. If there is an even number of numbers then the median is the mean average of the middle two: There are 2 numbers, therefore the median is the mean average of the middle two, which are the 1st and the 2nd → median = (98 + 101) ÷ 2 = 99.5
What is median mean?
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!
