Like Mohamed taha mohamin's Answer. Mean:-Total of values divide number of values.

Median:-Data prepare the ascending order and select the middle value

Mode:-select the value which has highest frequency.

  • The Mean – Add the numbers up and then divide the sum by the number of numbers you were dealing with.  (It is just like calculating “average.”) 
  • The Median – This is the “middle” number in the set of numbers that you are dealing with.  So to arrive at the median, put all the numbers in ascending order, with the smallest first. The number that is in the middle is the median. If you have an even number of numbers in your set, i.e two numbers are in the middle? Add the two numbures and divide by two and use the median formula
  • The Mode – This is the number in a set that appears most frequently.

The "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list. The "range" is just the difference between the largest and smallest values.

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so you may have to rewrite your list first.

 the mean is the average of all the values you calculate it by adding all the values together and then dividing that number by the number of values you have ex. if you have numbers 4 and 6 you would find the mean by adding them together which equals 10 and then divide it by 2 because you had two numbers so the answer would be 5 the median is the middle number of all your values you calculate it by putting all your values in numeric order and then find the number in between ex. if you had numbers 7, 5, and 6 you would put them in order 5, 6 ,7 and find the middle number which is 6 the mode is the number that occurs the most in the values so if you have values 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 6, 7 the number that comes up the most is 6 so the mode is 6 and average and mean are the same thing
