Why look at median?

Sometimes the mean does not give the entire picture of how the data behaves. For example: {2, 2, 3, 15, 100}

The mean is 24, the median is 3. This shows that if you graph these numbers on a line, they will be grouped much more to the low end than near the mean. ■

How do use median in math?

To find the median of data, you first order all the data from smallest to largest. The second step is to find the middle value on the list. If there are an odd number of values, this is easy, you simply take the middle value and that's the median. If there are an even number of values, you find where the middle would be, and then look at the numbers either side and take the mean of those two numbers, and that's your median.
