Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mean, median, and mode?+
The mean is the average (sum ÷ count). The median is the middle value when sorted. The mode is the most frequent value. They are similar for symmetric data but can differ significantly for skewed data.
When should I use the median instead of the mean?+
Use the median when data has outliers or is skewed (like income data). The median is resistant to extreme values. For example, if most people earn $50,000 but one person earns $10 million, the median better represents the typical value.
Can there be multiple modes?+
Yes. If two values tie as most frequent, the data is bimodal. If all values occur equally often, there is no mode.
