median

The median is a fundamental statistical measure that represents the middle value of a sorted data set. To find the median, one must first arrange the data points in either ascending or descending order. If the number of observations is odd, the median is the value at the center position. If the number of observations is even, the median is calculated by taking the average of the two middle values. Unlike the mean, the median is not influenced by outliers, making it a robust measure of central tendency, particularly in skewed distributions. Understanding the median is essential for effective data analysis.
