To calculate the average without being affected by the extreme values of a set of data. For example in a restaurant the wage for a waiter may be 1000 pounds a month, yet for the manager 10000 pounds a month. The mean would thus be distorted if calculated inclusive of the manager's salary. Hence the use of the median.
