Step 1 Introduction:

Mean: Mean is defined as the ratio of sum of all observations to the total number of all observations and it is given by

Mean=i=1nxin

where i=1nxi = sum of all observations

           and n = total number of all observations.

  • Mean is most affected by the extreme outliers.

Median: Median is exactly middle value of the data.

Before going to find the Median arrange the in the Ascending Order.

Case (i) : If the data set is odd numbered, then Median is exactly the middle value.

Case (ii) : If the data set is even numbered, then Median is the average of the two middle values.

  • Median is least affected by the extreme values.

Mode: Mode is the most frequently repeated value in the data set.

  • Mode is least affected by the extreme values.
