No. Not if there are an even number of observations and the middle two values are unequal.

What does the term of median mean in math?
The median is the middle value of a list of numbers. In [1,6,34] the median value is 6.
How do you find the value of x that makes the median the given number?
32,23,15,30,12,X;the median+25
What quartile has the same value as the median?
The second quartile.
The middle value for a group of numbers is called the?
median
What is the value of a number to the zero power?
Any number to the power of zero is always equal to 1
What is the 5 number summary for a box and whisker plot?
Min- the lowest value Q1- the median number between the actual median and the min Median- the "middle" number in the dataset Q3- the median number between the actual median and the max Max- the highest value
Since the median is the middle value of a data set it must always be?
Not an extreme value.
Where Place value and face value of a number is always equal at?
place value and face value of a number are always equal at ones place.
Which measures of central location always have only one value?
median and mode
What makes your percent error calculated value not equal to the actual value?
You do not add the percentage error but the actual error.
Is the mean and median similar?
The Mean is the average of a given set of values. The Median is the value that has the same number of smaller values than the number of higher values, it is in the middle of them. In a symmetrical distribution the Mean is equal to the Median. In an asymmetrical distribution they have different value.
What is the difference between the median and the midpoint?
The median is the number in a series that has equal amounts on either side of it. E.g. the median of 15 is 8 because it has seven numbers either side of that value. The midpoint means the same as the median, but median is the most used terminology.
Which measure of central tendency has a number of terms less than its value that is equal to the number of terms greater than its value?
The median.
Are the mean and median always nearly equal?
No, not always. Sometimes they are equal. Sometimes they are close to each other, but not exactly the same. Sometimes they are very different. It depends on the numbers that are being used to calculate the mean and median. The way each is calculated is different. The mean is got by adding all the numbers and dividing by the amount of numbers. The median is got by arranging the numbers in order and finding the middle value in the list, if there is an odd amount of numbers, or the value half way between the two middle values when there are an even amount of numbers.
Is there a measure of central location that the sum of deviations of each value will always be zero?
yes is it the median?
How do you find th number missing if the median is 104?
The median uses the position of the data rather than their actual values. As a result, in general, you will only be able to determine whether the missing value is greater than or less than the median.
How do you get the median with an odd amount of numbers?
It is easy to get a median with an odd amount of numbers, as there will always be one number in the middle of the list. So, for example, if you have 7 numbers, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7, the 4th number is always the median, so n4 would be the median value in this case.
