The mean is less than the median which in most cases is less than the mode. The mean is more accurate but if the question comes for a double exponential distribution the median is more accurate. Finally, the mean is greater than the mode if the distribution is positively skewed. If the mean is less than the mode, the distribution is negatively skewed. If the mean is greater than the median, the distribution is positively skewed.
