Study Notes
Finding the Median
- To find the median of a dataset, sort the data points in ascending order.
- If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle data point.
- The middle data point's position can be calculated as (n+1)/2, where n is the number of data points
- If the number of data points is even, the median is the mean of the two middle data points.
- The positions of the two middle data points are n/2 and (n/2) + 1, respectively.
