for symmetrical distributions your mean equals the median. that is one of the properties of the symmetrical distribution.

Can the mean be equal to the median?

Yes, and they WILL be if the distribution is symmetrical.


Are the mean median and the mode the same in a unimodal symmetrical distribution?

No they are not the same in a unimodal symmetrical distribution and they will never be


In a unimodal symmetrical distribution the mean is equal to?

The median and mode.


Are the mean and the median always equal?

No. They are equal only if the distribution is symmetrical.


What would be the implications if the mean mode and median were equivalent?

Your distribution is unimodal and symmetrical.


How does the median affect the graph of a normal distribution?

A normal distribution is symmetrical; the mean, median and mode are all the same, on the line of symmetry (middle) of the graph.


In a perfectly symmetrical bell-shaped normal distribution?

Normal distribution is a perfectly symmetrical bell-shaped normal distribution. The bell curve is used to find the median, mean and mode of a function.


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. In a symmetrical distribution the Mean is equal to the Median. In an asymmetrical distribution they have different value.


What is the nature of symmetry if median is greater than the mean?

Generally, when the median is greater than the mean it is because the distribution is skewed to the left. This results in outliers or values further below the median than above the median which results in a lower mean value than median value. When a distribution is skewed left, it is generally not very symmetrical or normally distributed.


What can the difference between mean and median values infer. If the mean is 8 655.7 and the median -8 653.0?

First, I will give an example, similar to your question: -11000 -9000 +44000 mean = 8,000 and median = -9000. Symmetrical distributions after infinite sampling will show no difference in mean and median. Large differences are possible with small sample sizes even with symmetrical distributions. If the sample is large and the difference is large, this infers that the distribution is asymmetrical. The skewness of the distribution can be calculated.


Is mean and median always very similar?

The mean and median are not always similar; their relationship depends on the distribution of the data. In a symmetrical distribution, such as a normal distribution, the mean and median are typically very close or identical. However, in skewed distributions, the mean can be significantly affected by outliers, causing it to differ from the median, which remains more representative of the central tendency. Thus, while they can be similar in certain cases, this is not universally true.


A distribution with a shape that is symmetrical around the mean with a bell shape is described as?

The distribution described is a normal distribution. It is characterized by a symmetric bell-shaped curve where the mean, median, and mode are all equal and located at the center of the distribution.
