The median is one way of three, of measuring the central tendency of a bunch of objects. Each of the three measures has plusses and negatives. They are: the mean (or average: add the values and divide by the population number) The mode ( or value - can be several where more individuals are found than at other values, i.e. a peak or popular value) the median (or value which divides the whole bunch into two similar parts - as many bigger as smaller valued) EXAMPLE: there is a group with the following values: ten are valued at 1 nine are valued at 3 one is valued at 1000. The mean is [1000 + 9X3 + 10X1] / 20 = 51.85 The mode is 1, the next mode is 3 The median is 2 (with ten below, and ten above)
