Yes. And in any symmetric distribution, they will.

How the mean and median about the same value?

5,6,7


Why are mean median and mode considered measures of central tendency?

The mean (average value), the median (middle value), and the mode (most frequently occurring value) are all important values.


What if the median has 6 values how do you work it out?

A median can have only one value.


What is the shape of a distribution when the mean and the median are about the same value?

That would provide some evidence that the distribution is symmetric about the mean (or median).


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.


What is the median of 1 number only?

Your single number is your only information of the median value of the population, so the median value is the same as your single number. It is also the mode and mean of your sample.


What is the nature of symmetry if median is greater than the mean?

Generally, when the median is greater than the mean it is because the distribution is skewed to the left. This results in outliers or values further below the median than above the median which results in a lower mean value than median value. When a distribution is skewed left, it is generally not very symmetrical or normally distributed.


How does the outlier effect the mean median and mode in a set of data?

There would be a difference to the median. The old number wouldn't be the median but the mode wouldn't change. If the outlier is a high value, it will cause the mean value to shift to the higher side, while a low valued outlier will drop the mean value to a lower number.


In any data set are the median and mean usually very similar in value?

yes they are if you have 0 and 10 the mean is 5 and so is the median. The mean and the median can in fact be the same value. But basically to answer your question, One possible way is that if the values are ascending by 1 in the data set, then the number of values left to the median should be the same as the number of values right to the median. e.g. 6+7+8+9+10 6,7 = 2 terms 9,10 = 2 terms median =8 mode = 8


What is arithmetic median?

It is the number in the middle of the set from least to greatest or greatest to least. If you're having trouble, remember this song: Mean, median, mode.Mean, median, mode. Here's what they are. Here's what they are. The mean is the one that you add then divide. The median is the one in the middle of the line. The mode is the one you see most of the time. Mean, median, mode. Mean, median, mode.
