What is a median?

Definition: “a value that divides a data sample, population, or probability distribution into two halves.
Finding the median essentially involves finding the value in a data sample that has a physical

​

What is the mode?

Definition: “the value in a data set that has the highest number of recurrences. It is possible for a data set to be multimodal, meaning that it has more than one mode.” - here
