Jokes About Averages (Mean, Median, Mode)

Averages are a fundamental concept in statistics, giving us a single ‘typical’ value for a data set. But sometimes, those values can lead to some seriously funny situations.

The three statistical giants, mean, median and mode were discussing their respective roles when mean pointed out his ability to bring balance. Median then took to the stand, reminding them all how she had the greater ability to remain unperturbed by outliers… Now it was Mode’s turn and well, he was a little too freqeunt to provide an answer.
