Mean
The mean is the average of the numbers.
It is easy to evaluate: Just add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.
Example:
what is the mean of 2, 7 and 9?
Solution: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18
= 18 ÷ 3
= 6
Mean is 6
Median
The middle number (in a sorted list of numbers). Half the numbers in the listing are less, and half the numbers are greater are called as the median.
To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value arrange and find the middle number.
If there are two middle numbers then average those two numbers.
Average
Average - The middle or most general in a set of data. There are three types of standard in mathematics - the mean, the median and the mode.

Average
The average is a calculated "central" value or rate of a set of numbers.
It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are and you will have the average.
Example:
the average of 4, 6 and 11
Solution: (4+6+11)/3
= 21/3
= 7
Average is 7
Mean
The most general expression for the mean of a statistical distribution with a discrete random variable is the mathematical average of all the terms. To compute it, add up the values of all the terms and then divide by the number of terms. This expression is also called the arithmetic mean.
Median
The median of a distribution with a discrete random or chance variable depends on whether the number of terms in the distribution is even or odd. If the number of conditions is odd, then the median is the value of the term in the middle. This is the value such that the number of conditions having values greater than or equal to it is the same as the number of terms having values less than or equal to it. If the number of conditions is even, then the median is the average of the two terms in the middle, such that the number of terms having values greater than or equal to it is the same as the number of terms having values less than or equal to it.
Example of mean median average
A student has gotten the subsequent grades on his tests: 87, 95, 76, and 88. He wants an 85 or better overall. What is the least amount of grade he must get on the last test in order to achieve that average?
The unknown score is "x". Then the desired average is:
(87 + 95 + 76 + 88 + x) ÷ 5 = 85
Multiplying through by 5 and simplifying, I get:
87 + 95 + 76 + 88 + x = 425
346 + x = 425
x = 79
He needs to get at least a 79 on the last test.
