median

Answer 26

the value that separates the higher half of the data from the lower half of the data sample. It is the middle value if the data sample is ordered from highest to lowest. If 2 values are in the middle, take the average of the 2 values and get the median. Median works for continuous or ordinal data. Median is less sensitive to bias from skewed data than mean, but not as good as mode.
