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.

What is the relation between mean median and mode?

In a symmetric distribution, the mean and the median are the same. Otherwise there is no relation. In symmetric distributions with only one mode, the mode will coincide with the mean and median, but otherwise there is no relation.


Can you calculate the mode mean and median of goals scored in a month?

You can calculate the mode, mean and median of any set of integers.


How do you calculate mean and Median smaller then Standard deviation?

In the same way that you calculate mean and median that are greater than the standard deviation!

What is the relation between mean mode median in symmetric normal distribution?

They are all the same.


What are some examples where the mean the median and the mode might be the same?

(10, 15, 15, 15, 20) The answer above displays a sample in which the sample mean, sample median and sample mode assume the same value. If you were asking about populations, then the population mean, population median and population mode are the same whenever the probability density function for the population is symmetric. For example, the normal probability density function is symmetric, the t and uniform density functions are symmetric. Many are.


What is the difference between calculating the sample mean and the population mean?

You calculate the actual sample mean, and from that number, you then estimate the probable mean (or the range) of the population from which that sample was drawn.


What is the median of 1 number only?

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.


How do you calculate the mean from the median?

The mean is the sum of the sample, divided by the number of samples. The median is the middle number. Good example of this is your grades. You have a d,c,a,b, c,c. Each grade has a number a d is equal to 1 point, c= 2 points, a= 4 points, and a b=3 points. You add these up and divide by the number 7. To find the median write them in order A,b,ccc,d= the median is a C.
