No, a data set cannot have more than one median. The median is defined as the middle value of a sorted data set, or the average of the two middle values if the data set has an even number of observations. While a data set can have repeated values, the median itself remains a single value that represents the central tendency of the data.

Is there ever more than one median?
No, there is never more than one median in a data set. The median is defined as the middle value when the data is arranged in order. If the data set has an odd number of observations, the median is the single middle value. If it has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values, which also results in a single value.
Median of a data is 20 If each is obesrvation in the data is increased by 2 then what is the new median?
the new median is the same as that of old one. i.e 20 * * * * * If every observation is increased by 2, the new median is 2 more than the old median.
If you have more than one median what do you do?
If you have an even set of data then there are two middle numbers or medians. Average those two and create a median. Example: 2,3,4,7,9,10 4 and 7 are in the middle. (4+7)/2=5.5 5.5 is the median even though it is not one of the numbers in the data set.
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.
Does all statistical data have a mean median or mode?
It depends on the definition of mode. If mode is simply the most frequently occurring outcome and more than one outcome in the sample space is allowed to be the mode, then all datasets do have a mean, median, and mode.
