Mean is an average of a list of numbers.

Median is the middle of a list of numbers.

Mode is the most common number in a list of numbers.

Ex. 14 17 23 48 54, the Median would be 23, the mean would be 31.2, and the mode would be undefined.

The mean, median, and mode are all measures of center for a data set. A measure of center is one way to get a single result that represents all of your data for a definitive answer to a math or science question. Mode is the number that shows up most in the data set. Mean (also known as average) is found after all the numbers in a data set are added together, and that sum is divided by how many numbers in the data set there are. Median is the number in the exact middle of the data set once the data set is put in the order of least to greatest value. If the number of numbers in the data set is even, and there are two medians, then you would find the mean of the median to get your true median. Here is an example.

data set: 0,0,3, 4, 5,5,5, 66, 78, 80, 90, 99,99,99,99, 106

mode:99

median: 72

mean:48
