What else can I help you with?
For a given data set the mean and median are always nearly equal?
No.
What divides a set of data in half?
Median
How do you find a median in a set of data?
The median is the middle number of any given set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two. Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68) The median is 20.
If the median of a set of data is 23 must 23 be one of the data values?
No, the median does not have to be one of the data values. The median is the middle value of a sorted data set, and it can be the average of two middle numbers if the set has an even number of values. Thus, while 23 is the median, it may not necessarily appear in the original data set.
Can a data set have more than one median?
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.
For a given data set the mean and median are always nearly equal?
No.
What is median in the set of data?
The median in a set of data, would be the middle item of the data string... such as: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 the Median of this set of data would be: 4
What divides a set of data in half?
Median
Which is the middle number in a set of data?
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.

What does the median tell you about the distribution of a set of data?
the midpoint of the data set
Does some quantitative data sets do not have a median?
No, they must have a median. However, if the data set is of even order, the median may not belong to the data set. For example, the median of 1,2,3,10 is halfway between 2 and 3 or 2.5 which is not a data point.
Can a data set have more than one median?
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.

What is the middle number of a data set called?
it is the median
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.
