Mean represents the arithmetic average of a set of numbers. It is calculated by summing all observations and dividing by the count of observations. This measure is sensitive to extreme values, making it useful for symmetric distributions.
Median is the middle value when the data are ordered from smallest to largest. If the dataset has an odd number of observations, the median is the central element; if even, it is the average of the two central elements. The median provides a robust central tendency measure that is less affected by outliers.
Mode denotes the most frequently occurring value(s) in a dataset. A distribution may be unimodal, bimodal, or multimodal, or it may have no mode at all if all values appear with equal frequency. Mode is particularly useful for categorical or discrete data.
