No one gonna bring up modal? I had to Google it and got some computer program because I'd never heard that word. I also didn't graduate highschool and am not very versed in langusics

Yup! Mean is summing everything and dividing by number of entries, median is taking the number in the middle (after sorting)

So if you have 2, 2, 5, 6, 10, mean is (2+2+5+6+10) ÷ 5, median is 5, mode is 2
