The mean is the average of all observations.
Mean=Sum of observationsNumber of observations
The median is the middle value of an ordered data set.
The mode is the observation that occurs most frequently.
A frequency distribution table shows how often each observation occurs in a data set.
x¯=∑fixi∑fi
