The mode is the most common number in a sequence. This is how i remember it---->
MOde=MOst common (They both have the same beginning).
e.g if we look at this sequence 2, 4, 5, 5, 8, 5, 2, 4, 5 <---- 5 is there four times, compared to the others which are less, so the mode is 5.
The median is the middle value of a sequence of numbers. This is how I remember it --->
MEDIan=MEDIum <--- which I associate with "middle".
eg: 2, 4, 9, 5, 7. <--- if we put those in order from smallest to highest they will be, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and the value in the middle is 5.
The mean is the "other one" This involves adding up all the numbers and dividing it by the number of numbers there is, if that makes sense. Let me show you an example.
e.g: 4, 6, 7, 9 <--- If we add these together they will be 26. There are four numbers there. so 26 divided by four is 6.5. The point of this is to see what the "average" score is...that's if that's what you want to know.

the median is number in the middle and range is the difference between the greatest and least number and the mode is the number that repeats the most
Calculate the mean, median, and range with the outlier, and then again without the outlier. Then find the difference. Mode will be unaffected by an outlier.
mean - the average of a number mode - a number that appears the most in a set of numbers median - the number in the middle after the set of numbers are put from least to greatest range - the difference between the largest and the smallest number in a set of numbers
The mean, median, and mode are all measures of central tendency. For symmetrical distributions they all have the same value. For assymetrical distributions they have different values. The mean is the average and the mode is the most likely value.
the median and mode are but the mean is not
