Is the mean equal to the median in a data set consisting of 1000 values that are all different?
If a data set consists of 1000 different values can the mean and the median be the same
When the median and mean are substantially different what does that tell you about the data?
I think it means that our data includes outliers.
Would you use mean mode median to average the points?
mean is the average of numbers in the data set mode is the most frequently occurring value in a data set and median is the middle number of the data set so you would use mean
Would you consider two data sets similar or different if they have the same mean median and range but one is positively skewed and other negatively skewed?
If the skewness is different, then the data sets are different.Incidentally, there is one [largely obsolete] definition of skewness which is in terms of the mean and median. Under that definition, it would be impossible for two data sets to have equal means and equal medians but opposite skewness.
Are the mean median and mode always numbers from a list of data?
the median and mode are but the mean is not
