In a collection of several numbers, some of which may or may not be duplicates: 'Mean' = average = add up all the numbers, then divide the sum by how many numbers there are in the group 'Median' = the value for which (# of higher members) = (# of lower members) 'Mode' = the value that shows up most often in the group. (If there are no duplicates in the group, then there is no mode.) Example: The group or 'population' is: 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 10, 50, 90 Mean = (1+2+3+3+5+7+10+50+90) / 9 = 171 / 9 = 19 Median = 5 (four are higher, four are lower) Mode = 3 (shows up twice in the population)

the median and mode are but the mean is not
The median is 9 and the mode is 18 and the mean is 11
mean: 1.7 median:1.7 mode: none
The mean is affected the most by an outlier.
Mean, median, and mode are all equal in a normal distribution.
