when is it appropriate to use arithmetic mean as opposed to median
The median can be calculated using the Median function. Assuming the values you wanted the median of were in cells B2 to B20, you could use the function like this: =MEDIAN(B2:B20)
Just say.... I will/am learning how to find the median in Math class.
21. The median of a single number is itself. Not much use, but that's how it goes.
The median is a measure of central tendency. In a set of data, it is the value such that half the observed values are larger and half are smaller.
The median is the 50% percentile.

you use it when a list of numbers acure

Yes, the median is always a number. For qualitative data, use the mode for a measure of center.
use lmc
I use it in class when looking at my student's scores... Often I look at mean, median, and mode to decide to reteach a concept or not.
You would use the median if the data were very skewed, with extreme values.
in maths
To find the Median in Math, if you have two numbers, the Median will be the middle number. If you had 1 and 10 to find the Median from, the answer would be 5. Also, if the highest number is not an even number, you use a point. Example: 1 ----- ? ----- 9 ? = 4.5. That solve your answer?
