Middlemost data in this case is 52 & thus Median is 52. Also we see that most frequent data is 52 & thus mode is 52. Application of Mean, Median & Mode Mean, median & mode shows different perspective of same data.
Mean gives average of the data. All data is given equal importance. It is used in case where all data is important. E. g. Average salary of employees in an organization
Median is used to find middle most data. It is used to determine a point from where 50 % of data is more & 50 % data is less. It is used where extreme cases can be ignored. E. g. To find the performance of a cricketer where his worst & best extreme performance can be ignored to give his consistent performance.
Mode is used where we need to find the most frequent data. E. g. if we need to find the most favourite Subject of students in a given class, mode can be used.
Mean, Median, Mode are not sufficient to represent data Consider the performance of 2 crickets, we need to find how is better?
In this case mean, median, mode is not helping to find better score. Mean, Median & mode has same value 50. We can see from the score that Red player is more consistent. Measure of dispersion will help here.
