It is the middle number when numbers are arranged in order. If there is an even amount of numbers, then it is the value that is halfway between the two middle values. Here are two examples:
1, 4, 8, 2, 7, 5, 6
Median : 5
3, 11, 8, 20, 22, 15
Median: 13 (the value half way between 11 and 15) .

In statistics, the median is defined as the midpoint of a set of numbers that are arranged in numerical order. 72 is a single value. The median cannot be determined because a range of values has not been provided.
In probability theory and statistics, a median is described as the number separating the higher half of a sample from the lower half.So if you have 19 measurements and order them from least to greatest, the tenth value is the median.
You cannot. If you have only such summary statistics the detailed information is lost.
what I would like to know is the importance of statistics in mathematics in relation to aspects like the mode,median & the mean and how one can explain this in a 2000 word essay
'Mean', 'mode', 'median' and 'standard deviation' are all quantities used in statistics. Each one is an attempt to use a single number to describe the essential nature and character of a bunch of numbers.
