Understanding the Median
The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value of a dataset. It is less sensitive to outliers than the mean.
Finding the Median
- Sort the data in ascending order.
- If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle value.
- If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.
Example
For the dataset [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6], the sorted data is [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9]. Since there are 8 values (even), the median is (3 + 4) / 2 = 3.5.
