What is Mean?
Mean is the most commonly used measure of central
tendency. It actually represents the average of the given
collection of data. It is applicable for both continuous and
discrete data.
Types of Mean
There are majorly three different types of mean value that
you will be studying in statistics.
1. Arithmetic Mean
2. Geometric Mean
3. Harmonic Mean
Median Formula
The formula to calculate the median of the finite number
of data set is given here. The median formula is different
for even and odd numbers of observations. Therefore, it is
necessary to recognise first if we have odd number of
values or even number of values in a given data set.
The formula to calculate the median of the data set is
given as follows.
Odd Number of Observations
If the total number of observations given is odd, then the
formula to calculate the median is:
