What is the difference between the median and the midpoint?

Answer 1

Ah, the median and the midpoint are both ways to find the middle of a set of numbers, but they are calculated differently. The median is the middle number when the numbers are ordered from least to greatest, while the midpoint is the exact middle point between two endpoints. Both are beautiful ways to find balance and harmony in our mathematical landscapes.

Answer 2

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.
