When to use it
Use it when a problem asks for either the mode or the median of a data set, to quickly recall which measure each term describes.
Example
In the set 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, the Mode is 3 (Most frequent value) and the Median is 3 (Middle value when sorted), though both happen to be equal here.
Common mistake
Mixing up median with mean. Median is the middle value in a sorted list; mean is the average computed by dividing the total by the count.
