Engineering Applications of Statistics
The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a dataset when the values are arranged in ascending or descending order. It is particularly useful for understanding the distribution of data, especially in cases where outliers might skew other measures, like the mean. The median divides the dataset into two equal halves, ensuring that 50% of the values fall below it and 50% are above it.
