What is the value of the data point in the middle of a set of data when the data are arranged in order from smallest to largest?
It is the median, which is an indication of the central tendency of a distribution.
The main advantages of the median are that it is an observed value. The mean may not be a possible outcome - eg 2.4 children in the average family! How do you get 0.4 child?
The median is not affected by outliers (extreme values) which could be due to errors.
The median can be calculated for ordered data (eg data categorized as small, medium, large) even if the difference between small and medium is not the same as the difference between medium and large.
The other two common measures of the central tendency of a data set are the mean and the mode. The mean is what is commonly referred to as the average. It is the most commonly used indicator of central tendency. If you have n values, add them up and divide the sum by n and you have the mean.The mode is the other common indicator and it is simply the most frequently occurring value in the data set. Modes are nice for dealing with categorical data.
An important part of statistics is knowing which measure of central tendency to use for a particular data set.

Does ascending mean smallest to biggest?
Yes, ascending typically refers to arranging items in order from smallest to largest. When numbers or values are in ascending order, they increase in magnitude as you move from left to right. This is the opposite of descending order, where items are arranged from largest to smallest.
Which series is arranged in order from largest to smallest in size 1chromosome nucleus cell DNA nucleotide?
cell, nucleus, chromosome, DNA, nucleotide
How do you find the median value on a cumulative frequency?
set all you numbers up in order from smallest to largest. then find the middle. if there are two number in the middle, add them up and divide by two. Example: set of numbers - 8,6,3,4,10,15,36 put in order from smallest to largest - 3,4,6,8,10,15,36 now find the middle number - 8 8 is then my median of this sequence

Is descending order from high to low?
Numbers are said to be in descending order when they are arranged from the largest to the smallest number.

Yes, ascending typically refers to arranging items in order from smallest to largest. When numbers or values are in ascending order, they increase in magnitude as you move from left to right. This is the opposite of descending order, where items are arranged from largest to smallest.
Does the median have to be arranged from least to greatest?
The most common definition of the median is that given a set of data values it is the middle value of the data set when it has been arranged in ascending order. So, while the median is the number in the middle of a data set. Sometimes there is no single number in the middle in which case we take the mean of the two middle numbers. Weather you order the values from smallest to largest or largest to smallest, the middle will still be the same, in spite of the common definition using ascending order. For example 1,2,5,6,8 The median is 5. If I write those numbers are 8,6,5,2,1 the 5 is still the middle number in the set. With an even number of data values, such as 1,2,4,6,8,11, the median is the mean of 4 and 6 which is 5. If I write that set from largest to smallest the median is the same. So the median is the middlemost number. In most math classes, students are told to arrange the numbers from smallest to largest, however, you can see that this really makes no difference.
