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.

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
