Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of averages for statistical analysis.
The mean is obtained by adding the all numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
The median is the middle value in the list of numbers after rewriting the numbers in descending or ascending order.
The mode is the value that occur most often.
The mean represents the middle values for the statistical data set but it may not be able to predict the exact middle values for the given data set if the data set is widely scattered such as few values in the data sets are quite apart from the remaining.
For this case Median must be the appropriate choice for the middle values. For symmetric differences the mean and the median must be equal and otherwise the distributions called skewed.
For right skewed distributions mean>median and for mean<median the distributions is left skewed.
As mode is the most frequent data hence for the distributions of the corresponding data set must have the peak here. If the data set has the single mode then the distribution has one peak and known as unimodal. For bimodal distributions the data set has two modes and two peaks.
Since, median is the best way to find middle value.
Hence, from the above explanation, i would request for median.
