Ok so mean is the average of all the observations in a data set.
Median is the middle number.
Mode means maximum number of occurrence of any observation in the data set.
Suppose the data set has observations 1, 3, 4, 4,4,5,6,7
Mean is (1+3+4+4+4+5+6+7)/8
Median is since the data set is already in ascending order so (N/2) th observation which is 8/2 = 4th observation....here it is 4
Mode as you know observation having maximum occurrence so here it is 4
I hope you got your answer ...thanksUmar Shaikh – That was really easy to understand. Thanks for the amazing explanation. – Aug 28, 2025 - 18:12
