You are trying to decide from what company to buy your next 5-year supply of light bulbs. Would you look to the company whose light bulbs have the greatest mean or greatest median life?

1) Mean - having a value intermediate between the values of other quantities.
Ex. A mean diameter.
2) Median - the middle number of a series. If the sequence has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. (Examples:) the median of 1, 3, 4, 8, 9 is 4. The median of 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 is 6.
One cannot answer your question
based only on the above definitions.
You would need to have more information about the company.
