Is there ever more than one median?

No, there is never more than one median in a data set. The median is defined as the middle value when the data is arranged in order. If the data set has an odd number of observations, the median is the single middle value. If it has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values, which also results in a single value.


Is the mean and median similar?

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.

Can the mode be larger than the median?
