Do odd numbers have a middle number?
yes it is half like if u wanted to find the middle number of 5 it would be 2 and a half or 2.5
What if your upper quartile is the same as your median?
If your upper quartile (Q3) is the same as your median (Q2), it indicates that at least half of your data points are concentrated at or below the median value, resulting in a distribution that is skewed towards the lower values. This scenario suggests that the data set may have a large number of lower values, with a relatively small range of higher values, leading to a flat or plateau-like appearance in the upper half of the data distribution. Such a distribution can impact statistical analyses and interpretations, particularly in understanding variability and central tendencies.
What are the uses for median?
Helps you accurately measure the results of a population. It's simply the middle number in a data set, so half of the population is above and half of it is below. It is better than the mean since it is resistant to outliers.
