Mean, mode and median

Hi Guys, i was just observing a few kids here trying to solve some problems on mean, mode and median. I found that they were trying to find what is mean, mode and median and also faced some difficulty in solving them. When i helped them they were very happy. Just then, it struck to mind that some of my friends like you may also be struggling to work on these problems. Were you not?

There are many types of averages in statistics, but mean, mode and median are the most commonly used averages. Lets discuss on the introduction to mean, median and mode.

Introduction to Mean, Median and Mode:-

Mean:- It is considered as the standard of integers. Jut put all the integers together add them and divide them by the number of integers.

Median:- The middle number in the list of numbers or the middle value in the list of numbers is called the median. The numbers need to be in numerical value. To find the median, you need to place the given set of integers and arrange it and find the middle number.


Mode:- The value which occurs most often is called the mode. If we find no number repeated then that set does not have a mode.


Lets work on it with more details in my next post. I will solve a few problems which will help you understand how to solve mean, median and mode. Meanwhile, post your comments on this, let me know if my post helps you.
