We need to first understand the meaning of these three words (mean, median, and mode) to clarify how they are used. Mathematically, a mean is the average of a data set, which is calculated by adding up all the numbers and dividing the sum by the number of numbers (Lind et al., 2021). In the example above, the mean is 7 given that 8 9 5 6 7 equals 35, 35/5 equals 7. A median is defined as the number in the middle of any set of numbers, regardless of whether they are sorted by ascending or descending order, and can serve as a more descriptive indicator of the data set than the average. It represents the midpoint of the data by being the point where half (50%) of the observed data falls (Hayes, 2019). A data set's mode is the value that appears most frequently. Modes can exist for a set of data, or there may be more than one mode. In addition to the mean, or the average of a set, the median can also be used to measure central tendency (Hayes, 2019). As a measure of central tendency, the mode is appropriate for bathrooms and bedrooms. Mode
