What is the difference between the central tendency values mean and median?

What will be an ideal response?


The mean is the sum of the values divided by the frequency. Another way of saying it is that the mean is the average. The median is the midpoint in a group of ranked values that divides the data into two equal parts. Another way of saying it is that if a list of values is sorted by value, the median is the value at the center of the list.
