Yes, but only if the data set includes some negative numbers. For example, recording winter temperatures at the South Pole. They will all be negative (or most of them will be) so the mode and the median will be negative as well.

Yes, a median can be a negative number.
You could use mode over median or mean when calculating probability. Mode calculates the greatest number of times an object or number will appear.
It is the number in the middle of the set from least to greatest or greatest to least. If you're having trouble, remember this song: Mean, median, mode.Mean, median, mode. Here's what they are. Here's what they are. The mean is the one that you add then divide. The median is the one in the middle of the line. The mode is the one you see most of the time. Mean, median, mode. Mean, median, mode.
Mean, median and mode are ways to find averages. The mode is the most common answer in a set of data. The median the number that is in the middle when the numbers are put in order. The mean is the statical average.
Your single number is your only information of the median value of the population, so the median value is the same as your single number. It is also the mode and mean of your sample.
