What is a situation in which the median of a data set would be more useful than the mean?
The median is more useful than the mean in situations where the data set contains outliers or is skewed. For example, in household income data, where a few extremely high incomes can distort the average, the median provides a better representation of the typical income level. This makes the median a more reliable measure for understanding central tendency in such cases.
Advantages and disadvantages of mean in statistics?
MEDIANUse the median to describe the middle of a set of data that does have an outlier.Advantages:• Extreme values (outliers) do not affect the median as strongly as they do the mean.• Useful when comparing sets of data.• It is unique - there is only one answer.Disadvantages:• Not as popular as mean.
How can determining the mean and median and range help to analyze your experimental data?
Analyzing the mean, median, and range of your experimental data helps establish patters present in the data set. Analyzing the mean will define the quantitative average, analyzing the median will find the number that is center most, and analyzing the range will find the difference between the largest and smallest number in the data set. Good luck!
How do you find the median with an even data set?
Let the data set be 3,4,5,6,7,8. First put the data in rank order ; already done!!!! To find the MEDIAN , we tak the two middle numbers, '5' & '6' in this case. Then (5 + 6) / 2 = 11/2 = 5.5 5.5 is the Median.
Are the mean median and mode always numbers from a list of data?
the median and mode are but the mean is not
Can ypu find the mean and median with data from a histogram?
You can estimate the median and the mean.
How can you find mean median and mode for GROUPED data?
Mean, median and mode are ways to find averages. The mode is the most common answer in a set of data. The median the number that is in the middle when the numbers are put in order. The mean is the statical average.
Can you find the mean median of a set of data from a histogram?
You can estimate them both.

How do you find the mean and median for dichotomous data types?
To find the mean, you all them all up and divide by how many ever there are. To find the median, you put them in order and the middle one is the median. If there are an even number of data, you take the two in the middle, add them together, then divide by 2.
Does all data have a mean median or mode?
No, not all data sets have a mode but all data sets have a mean and median.

When is the median more useful than the mean?
When the distribution has outliers. They will skew the mean but will not affect the median.
Should The mean or median be used in ordinal data?
The median is used when reporting ordinal data.
