The mean is the best estimate for the actual data set, but the median is the best measurement when a data set contains several outliers or extreme values. The mode will tell you the most frequently occurring datum (or data) in your data set. The mean, median, and mode are extremely helpful when you need to analyze your data.

There is different work to be done to calculate each of them, and they have different uses, strengths, and weaknesses.

There are three measures of the “center” of the data. They are the mode, median, and mean. Any of the values can be referred to as the “average.”
