Mean, median, and mode: Which represents "the average"? (sunshine in Regina)

Mean, median, and mode: Which represents "the average"? (sunshine in Regina)

Regina has an average of 2365 h of sunshine per year. Describe the meaning of this statement for each measure of central tendency.

a) 2365 h is the mode

b) 2365 h is the median

c) 2365 h is the mean.

Ok, this is an example of a normally distributed set of data. This is all I know. How do i answer the questions though?
Please help

average = mean

Not much else to discuss.

If it's REALLY "Normal", then average = mean = median = mode.

You're asked to describe what is meant by each of these statements. Start by learning the definition of each measure (mean, median, mode). Have you done that, yet?

If you understand the definition of mode, then describe it, using 2365 hours as an example.

If you understand the definition of median, then describe it, using 2365 hours as an example.

Same goes for mean (average).

If you have any questions about the definition of mean, median or mode, please post them. Otherwise, show us what you come up with, for descriptions of these definitions (using 2365 as an example). :cool:
