Data Analysis — Mean, Median, and Mode

Mean, median, and mode are three ways to describe 'the middle' of a data set — and they can tell very different stories. One billionaire in a room full of teachers raises the mean salary dramatically but leaves the median unchanged. Students learn to choose the right measure and to question statistics they encounter.
