no

Little close

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, when we have a list of entries to be analyzed we have few figures for observation. These are

Mean, median and mode.

Mean gives the average of all the entries. By average means.

Median gives you the middle most entry.

And mode gives the entry repeated the most.

As by definition we see that, median will give us approximation regarding daily data, hence jacob must consider the median to best represent the money he makes on daily basis.
