[Verse 1] When numbers scatter across your screen Three guardians reveal what they mean The average speaks with balanced voice While middle child makes its own choice And frequency crowns the popular king Each measure tells a different thing [Chorus] Mean adds them up, divides by count Median finds the center amount Mode discovers what repeats the most These three statistics are your host Mean, median, mode - remember the code Central tendency shows the road [Verse 2] Stock prices dancing through the years Mean smooths out the hopes and fears But outliers can pull it astray One billionaire skews the pay When extremes distort your view Median cuts right through [Chorus] Mean adds them up, divides by count Median finds the center amount Mode discovers what repeats the most These three statistics are your host Mean, median, mode - remember the code Central tendency shows the road [Bridge] Line up the data, smallest to tall Median sits where half would fall If no repeat, then mode's not there But when values match, mode's everywhere Skewed distributions tell the tale Which measure wins, which one will fail [Verse 3] Portfolio returns need careful eyes Mean for expected future prize Median when the spread's uneven Mode for patterns worth believing Each serves its analytical role Different lens, same data goal [Final Chorus] Mean adds them up, divides by count Median finds the center amount Mode discovers what repeats the most Now you've mastered every host Mean, median, mode - you cracked the code Central tendency lights your road [Outro] Three perspectives, one dataset Choose your measure, place your bet
