Mean: I think I would use mean when I have to find the average of a test scores in my class. This is because it is good for large amount of numbers. It is also very accurate and reliable.
Meaning: How to workout an average.
Example:
Test scores
Cherry: 40
Ivan: 50
Lucy: 30
John: 60
Vivian: 70
James: 80
Add them all up 40 + 50 + 30 + 60 + 70 + 80 = 330
divide by the number of students 330 = 55

Median: I would use median for peoples heights. It shows and divides data into two very clear groups it is really straightforward.
Meaning: Middle value of an ordered set of values.
Example:
Put the numbers in order 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
if it is an even number 50 and 60 would be the Median so you add 50 + 60 = 55
now divide it by two 2

Mode: I would use mode for number of children people have because it’s more likely for people to have the same number of kids then how many times does each person uses a new pieces of paper a week. Mode is very easy because you don’t need to do any calculations, also if there are any repetitions.
Meaning: In a set of scores, the mode is the score that occurs the most.
Example:
2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4
put them in order
2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4
The mode would be 2 because it occurs the most.
