The median is a valuable statistical measure that represents the middle value in a data set when arranged in ascending or descending order. It is particularly useful in understanding the central tendency of skewed distributions, as it is less affected by outliers compared to the mean. To use the median effectively, organize your data, identify the middle point, and apply it when comparing groups or assessing data sets with extreme values. This approach provides a more accurate reflection of typical values in such scenarios.
