43. To analyse data using mean, median and mode, we need to use the most appropriate
measure of central tendency. The mean is useful for predicting future results when there
are no extreme values in the data set. The median may be more useful than the mean
when there are extreme values in the data set as it is not affected by the extreme values.
The median is most commonly quoted figure used to measure property prices as mean
property price is affected by a few expensive properties that are not representative of the
general property market. The mode is useful when the most common item or
characteristic of a data set is required. The mode has applications in printing. It is
important to print more of the most popular books.
