What is data?

Data refers to raw, unprocessed facts, figures, and symbols. It's like the basic ingredients before you cook a meal. It could be numbers, letters, images, sounds, or any other form of information.

Define median.

The median is the middle value in a sorted dataset. It divides the data into two equal halves, with half the values above and half below it.
