Question

what are the advantges and disadvantages of mean,median,mode

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean

Advantage-The mean takes account of all values to calculate the average.

Disadvantage-Very small or very large values can affect the mean.

Median

Advantage-median is not affected by very large or very small values.

Disadvantage-If there is an even number of numbers, the median is found by averaging the two middle numbers. This means the median value may not actually be a number in the original data set.

Mode

Advantage-The mode is the only average that can be used if the data set is not in numbers, for instance the colours of cars in a car park.

Disadvantage-There can be more than one mode, and there can also be no mode which means the mode is not always representative of the data.
