None of them is "more accurate". They are answers to two different questions.
When the distribution has outliers. They will skew the mean but will not affect the median.
not always accurate, depending on data
The mean is 1226.75. The median is 508. There is no mode as no number occurs more than any other.
the intersection of less and more than ogive gives us the median of the following data.. but the median is not accurate as we draw the free hand cumulative graph..

cos mean is the average and median is putting them in ascending order and selecting the middle one example: 23 ,24 ,27 ,28 ,29 mean= 26.2(it's like it's in the middle) Median= 27 now, which do you think is more accurate??:)
The median or mode should be used instead of the mean in distributions with extreme outliers. In such cases, the mean can be a misleading measure of central tendency and the median value or the mode value are typically more accurate measures.

Both the mean and median represent the center of a distribution. Calculating the mean is easier, but may be more affected by outliers or extreme values. The median is more robust.
in general,mean is more stable than median but in the case of extreme values it is better to consider median a stable measure than mean.
The mean deviation from the median is equal to the mean minus the median.
Median age gives a more accurate representation of the central tendency of a population's age distribution, as it is less affected by outliers compared to the mean. It provides a clearer understanding of the typical age of a population and can be useful for demographic analysis and policy making.
In maths, the median is connected with the mode, mean. Help learn theese by singing a song, more of a chant though. Mode most Median middle Mean add up and divide Mode most Median middle Mean add up and divide!!
