yes they are if you have 0 and 10 the mean is 5 and so is the median. The mean and the median can in fact be the same value. But basically to answer your question, One possible way is that if the values are ascending by 1 in the data set, then the number of values left to the median should be the same as the number of values right to the median. e.g. 6+7+8+9+10 6,7 = 2 terms 9,10 = 2 terms median =8 mode = 8
What is the answer
The MEDIAN is the number in the middle. In order to find the median, you have to put the values in order from lowest to highest, then find the number that is exactly in the middle. For example : 80 85 90 90 90 100 ^ since there is an even number of values, the MEDIAN is between these two, or it is 90. Notice that there is exactly the same number of values above the median as below it! Its that simple.
The question is how do the mean and median affect the distribution shape. In a normal curve, the mean and median are both in the same point. ( as is the mode) If a distribution is skewed, its tail is either on the right or the left. If a distribution is skewed the median may be a better value to use than the mean since it has less effect on the shape. Also is there are large outliers, the median has less effect and is better to use. So the mean has a bigger effect on the shape many times than the median.

The Mean is the average of a given set of values. The Median is the value that has the same number of smaller values than the number of higher values, it is in the middle of them. In a symmetrical distribution the Mean is equal to the Median. In an asymmetrical distribution they have different value.
If a data set consists of 1000 different values can the mean and the median be the same
If it is a symmetric distribution, the median must be 130.
Any set of numbers can have only one mean and only one median but it can have as many modes as it has values.
It is the value of all numbers in the range in which there are as many values above it as there are below it. For example for the ordered values 1,3,7,9,10,12,15,19,21 the median value is 10. It is not he same as the mean, or average, which is the sum divided by the number of values.
Mean = average and median = the middle value in an array of all values received. So to answer your question the 50th percentile of a distribution is the same as median.

No, they are both averages but worked out in different ways and give different answers. The mean is the sum of all the values added together and then divided by the number of values there are. The median is found by arranging the values in numerical order and finding the number in the middle.
What is the answer
Yes. If the lower values tend to be farther below the median than the highest values are above the median, the mean is smaller than the median. why are write wrong
The median of 65 and 90 is the same as their mean: 77.5The median of 65 and 90 is the same as their mean: 77.5The median of 65 and 90 is the same as their mean: 77.5The median of 65 and 90 is the same as their mean: 77.5
