The mean, median, and mode are not always equal.
For example, consider the set of 5 values {2, 3, 5, 10, 10}.
The arithmetic mean is 6. (The values sum to 30, and 30 divided by 5 is 6.)
The median is 5. (The middle number of the 5 values, when sorted, is 5.)
The mode is 10. (The value 10 appears most often in the set.)
And, you probably didn't ask, but:
The geometric mean is the fifth root of 3000, or about 4.96.
The harmonic mean is 150 divided by 37, or about 4.05.
The quadratic mean is the square root of 47.6, or about 6.9.
Although the word "average" can technically be used to describe all of these values, in common parlance the word "average" refers to just the arithmetic mean.

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.
What is the mean median and mode of -3?
a single number, -3, is its own mean, median, and mode.
What is the relation between mean median and mode?
In a symmetric distribution, the mean and the median are the same. Otherwise there is no relation. In symmetric distributions with only one mode, the mode will coincide with the mean and median, but otherwise there is no relation.
Is Mean is more sensitive to skewness than the median?
If the distribution is positively skewed , then the mean will always be the highest estimate of central tendency and the mode will always be the lowest estimate of central tendency (If it is a uni-modal distribution). If the distribution is negatively skewed then mean will always be the lowest estimate of central tendency and the mode will be the highest estimate of central tendency. In both positive and negative skewed distribution the median will always be between the mean and the mode. If a distribution is less symmetrical and more skewed, you are better of using the median over the mean.
Are the mean median and mode always numbers from a list of data?
the median and mode are but the mean is not
How are the mode and median the same?
Mean, median, and mode are all equal in a normal distribution.
In a unimodal symmetrical distribution the mean is equal to?
The median and mode.
In a normal curve what three values are equal?
mean, median and mode
The mode is 100 and the mean and median are equal what are the 6 numbers?
100,100,100,100,100,100
In a normal distribution you will always know that?
The mean is the same as the mode and median.
Who discovered the mean median and mode?

What is the relationship among the mean median and the mode in a symmetric distribution?
All equal.
What are the median and mode of a normal distribution if the mean is 22 and the standard deviation is 4?
The mean, median, and mode of a normal distribution are equal; in this case, 22. The standard deviation has no bearing on this question.
What circumstances are the mean median and mode equal?
There are may situations. For example, the mean , median and mode for the set {1,2,5,5,5,6,11} are all 5. But the data are not symmetric or have any other special characteristic.
Does mode equal median in a normal distribution?
Yes, mode equals median in a normal distribution.
What is the median the mode the mean for 8181992183?
The median is 9 and the mode is 18 and the mean is 11
