What is the definition of mean and median in math?
Mean is the average, and median is the middle number.
Is the mean or median a better measure of a typical value?
NO mean: (average)add all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you added!! Median: you have to put allthe numbers in order and then get the middle number and if there are two middle numbers add them and divide them by two!!
How is the choice made between mean and median to describe the typical value related to the shape of the data distribution?
Either can be used for symmetrical distributions. For skewed data, the median may be more a appropriate measure of the central tendency - the "average".
Which two math terms means about the same median ratio mean average?
Mean and average are the same.
Why is the average of numbers called mean?
'cause they were average, not fantastic! It is sometimes stated that the 'mean' means average. This is incorrect if "mean" is taken in the specific sense of "arithmetic mean" as there are different types of averages: the mean, median, and mode. For instance, average house prices almost always use the median value for the average.
Can a mean average ever be higher than a median average?
Yes. If the predominant data are higher than the median, the mean average will be higher than the median average. For example, the median average of the numbers one through ten is five. The mean average is five and one-half.
What is the difference between typical and average number?
An average number is most commonly defined as the quotient of the sum of all numbers in a set and the total numbers in the set. A typical value for a set of data is usually given by the average (mean) or median.
What is the definition of mean and median in math?
Mean is the average, and median is the middle number.
Does mode median or mean accurately reflect typical?
In the appropriate context, they do.
How many milliseconds is a typical reflex?

Is the mean or median a better measure of a typical value?
NO mean: (average)add all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you added!! Median: you have to put allthe numbers in order and then get the middle number and if there are two middle numbers add them and divide them by two!!
What is the mean median and mode of a number?
The mean is the average. The median is the middle. The mode is the most common.
How does the mean and the median compare?
mean is the average of a bunch of numbers. the median is the middle number of the bunch. if the bunch has an even amount of numbers, you average the middle 2 numbers to get the median.
What do median mean in maths?
median is the middle number mean is average mode is most median is middle range is high - low
How does the mean compare to the median?
The mean and the median are both involved with a set of numbers. The mean refers to the average of the numbers. The median refers to the middle number of the numbers
What is the median of 98 101?
The median average of a set of numbers is the middle number when the numbers are listed in order. If there is an even number of numbers then the median is the mean average of the middle two: There are 2 numbers, therefore the median is the mean average of the middle two, which are the 1st and the 2nd → median = (98 + 101) ÷ 2 = 99.5
How is the choice made between mean and median to describe the typical value related to the shape of the data distribution?
Either can be used for symmetrical distributions. For skewed data, the median may be more a appropriate measure of the central tendency - the "average".
