• The median is the average number in the sorted list of numbers, which may be more informative for this dataset than the average.
  • The median is sometimes used instead of the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that could skew the mean.
  • If there is an odd number of numbers, the median value is the number that is in the middle, with the same number of numbers below and above.
  • If there is an even number of numbers in the list, you need to determine the middle pair, add it up and divide by two to find the median value.
  • In a normal distribution, the median is the same as the mean and the mode.
