Calculating the median in data sets of odd (above) and even (below) observations. The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value.
The median is the "middle" number of the ordered data set. This means that exactly 50% of the elements are below the median and 50% of the elements are greater than the median. The median of this ordered data set is 70°F. The first quartile value (Q 1 or 25th percentile) is the number that marks one quarter of the ordered data set. In other ...
Annual median equivalised disposable income per person, by OECD country. [2]The median equivalised disposable income is the median of the disposable income which is equivalised by dividing income by the square root of household size; the square root is used to acknowledge that people sharing accommodation benefit from pooling at least some of their living costs.

The th row of the triangle (starting with = in the top row) gives the numbers of comparisons for inputs of values, and the th number within each row gives the number of comparisons needed to select the th smallest value from an input of that size.
A well-defined and robust statistic for the central tendency is the sample median, which is consistent and median-unbiased for the population median. The bootstrap distribution for Newcomb's data appears below. We can reduce the discreteness of the bootstrap distribution by adding a small amount of random noise to each bootstrap sample.
Hyphenate all numbers under 100 that need more than one word. For example, $73 is written as “seventy-three,” and the words for $43.50 are “Forty-three and 50/100.”
Note that the middle five of the seven numbers are very nearly the same as for the seven number summary, above. The addition of the deciles allow one to compute the interdecile range , which for a normal distribution can be scaled to give a reasonably efficient estimate of standard deviation, and the 10% midsummary , which when compared to the ...
