Relation Between Mean Median and Mode

The document discusses the relationship between mean, median, and mode for moderately skewed distributions. It defines that mean is the average, median is the middle value when values are in order, and mode is the most frequent value. The empirical relationship shown is that the difference between the mean and mode is almost equal to three times the difference between the mean and median.

Relation Between Mean Median and Mode

In statistics, for a moderately skewed distribution, there exists a relation between mean, median
and mode. This mean median and mode relationship is known as the “empirical
relationship” which has been discussed in detail below.
To recall,

 Mean is the average of the data set which is calculated by adding all the data values
together and dividing it by the total number of data sets.
 Median is the middle value among the observed set of values and is calculated by
arranging the values in ascending order or in descending order and then choosing the
middle value.
 Mode is the number from a data set which has the highest frequency and is calculated by
counting the number of times each data value occurs.

Empirical Relationship between Mean, Median and Mode


In case of a moderately skewed distribution, the difference between mean and mode is almost
equal to three times the difference between the mean and median. Thus, the empirical mean
median mode relation is given as:

Mean – Mode = 3 (Mean – Median)
