Mean, median, and mode are three different ways to find the central value of your data, like the average yield per acre. The mean is the simple average, but it can give the wrong idea if one farmer's yield is unusually high or low, skewing the result for the whole village. I saw this when a neighbour's exceptional maize harvest raised the village's mean, making my modest yield seem poor in comparison, while the median told the truer story.
