Mean is the average of the data set values. Median is the middle number in the data set (set up in ascending or descending order). Mode is the data value (or values) that occur the most number of times.
You can estimate them both.

The median. If there are an odd number of elements in the set, there is a middle number which is the median. If there are an even number of elements in the set, the median is the mean of the middle two numbers.
The mean of a set of data is all the values in that data added together and then divided by the number of values. For instance, if you had the data set 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, you would add them all up to get 22, and then divide by 5 to get 4.4 which is the mean. The median is the middle value of all data values. In the above data set, that is 4, and so 4 would be the median. Mean and median are alike in that they both attempt to find the "middle" of the data, and are both considered averages.
mean~ all the numbers in the data added together divided by the number of data. The mean is the same as the average. median~ the exact middle of the set of data. Example: 1,1,2,2, the median is 1.5 mean- the average median- the middle number in a set of numbers in a group.Example of Median-1,3,5,7,9,4,5 (put them in order and list them from least to greatest)1,3,4,5,5,7,9the median is 5!

If a data set consists of 1000 different values can the mean and the median be the same
The median in a set of data, would be the middle item of the data string... such as: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 the Median of this set of data would be: 4
mean is the average of numbers in the data set mode is the most frequently occurring value in a data set and median is the middle number of the data set so you would use mean
The population data may be skewed and thus the mean is not a valid statistic. If mean > median, the data will be skewed to the right. If median > mean, the data is skewed to the left.
Mean is the average of the data set values. Median is the middle number in the data set (set up in ascending or descending order). Mode is the data value (or values) that occur the most number of times.
when there are extreme values in the data
It is misleading to use the mean as a descriptor of a data set when the median or mode would be more representative of the data set as a whole.
The median is the mean of the middle two. For example, find the median of the set {1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 15, 20}. There are 8 items in the data set, so the median is the mean of the middle two. The middle two are the 4th and 5th data items: 6 & 9 median = mean of 6 & 9 = (6 + 9)/2 = 7.5
Yea
You can estimate them both.
