Key Concepts

Median

The median is a statistical measure of central tendency that represents the middle value of a data set when it is arranged in order. It divides the data into two halves, with an equal number of values above and below it, providing a robust measure that is less affected by outliers compared to the mean.

Data Ordering

Ordering data is the process of arranging numerical values in ascending or descending order before performing further statistical analysis. This step is essential for accurately finding the median, as it requires locating the middle value in a sorted list.
