What divides a set of data in half?
Median
How do you solve a third quartile?
Roughly speaking, finding the third quartile is similar to finding the median. First, use the median to split the data set into two equal halves. Then the third quartile is the median of the upper half. Similarly, the first quartile is the median of the lower half.
What information is viewed on a box and whisker plot?
It is an overview of the distribution of a data set. The values that are plotted are:the minimum,the lower quartile (a quarter of the data points are smaller),the median (half the data points are smaller),the upper quartile (a quarter of the data points are larger),the maximum.
The middle number in a set of data showing that half of the data falls and half comes after it?
median
How do you use median in maths?
The median is a measure of central tendency. In a set of data, it is the value such that half the observed values are larger and half are smaller.
What is the median of the upper half of the data set?
It is the upper quartile.
The upper quartile of the data set?
the upper quartile is the median of the upper half of a set of data. ;p
What is the median of the lower half of a data set called?
It is the lower quartile.
What does the median tell you about the data?
The median, by definition, tells you the "half way point" of your data. Exactly half of the observations in the dataset will be less than the median and half will be greater than the median.
What does the median of a set of data tell you?
The median is the midpoint of the data set. So half the observations are greater than the median and half are smaller.

The Value which has half of the observations above it and half the observations below it is called?
The median is the value in the middle when data is arranged in ascending order such as (1 2 3 4 5) 3 is the median. half of the observations, (4 & 5) are above it and half of the observations, (1 & 2) are below it. Thus median is your answer. :)

What is the median of two and one half?
The median of a data set comprising only one value is that value. So the median of 2.5 is 2.5.
