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.
