Median Value
The median value is the middle value in a set of data. It is the value that is greater than half of the other values and less than the other half of the values. To find the median value, you need to first sort the data from smallest to largest. Then, find the middle value. If there is an odd number of values, the middle value is the average of the two middle values.
