Mean is where you add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. Median is where you put the numbers in order from least to greatest and you find the middle number by crossing each side out one at a time.

What is the difference between mean and median salary?

the mean is the average of all the salaries an the the median is the number that falls in the middle


What can the difference between mean and median values infer. If the mean is 8 655.7 and the median -8 653.0?

First, I will give an example, similar to your question: -11000 -9000 +44000 mean = 8,000 and median = -9000. Symmetrical distributions after infinite sampling will show no difference in mean and median. Large differences are possible with small sample sizes even with symmetrical distributions. If the sample is large and the difference is large, this infers that the distribution is asymmetrical. The skewness of the distribution can be calculated.


What is the difference between mean and average?

by average we mean any measure of central tendency and mean is one of the averages. other measures of average are median ,mode, geomatric mean and harmonic mean.


What is the median of 43 and 38?

It is 40.5, the number halfway between them. Median means "half of the numbers are above and half are below". With only two numbers we just split the difference. In this case the Median and the Mean are the same number - but this is not always the case. If our numbers were 43, 38, 33, 46 the Median would still be 40.5 but the Mean would be 40


What does mean mode range and median mean in math?

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
