Explain the significance of mean, median, and mode in a given context.

• They are used to measure the spread of the data

• They help to understand the typical or central value of a dataset and are used to make comparisons and draw conclusions.

• They are only applicable to small datasets

Explain the difference between mean, median, and mode.

• Mean is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in ascending order, median is the average of a set of numbers, and mode is the lowest number in a set of numbers.

• Mean is the highest number in a set of numbers, median is the sum of all numbers divided by the total count, and mode is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers.

• Mean is the total count of numbers in a set, median is the number that appears most frequently, and mode is the average of the numbers.

• Mean is the average of a set of numbers, median is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in ascending order, and mode is the number that appears most frequently in a set of numbers.
