The median is the middle number of a set. If the amount of numbers is even and the two middle numbers are not the same, then the value half way between them is the median. It is also the value when you add those two numbers and divide by 2. So if your two middle numbers were 7 and 5, the number halfway between them is 6, as is the number when you add 7 and 5 and divide by 2.

For a given data set the mean and median are always nearly equal?
No.
Is median always part of the data set?
yes* * * * *No. If you have a small, even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values. This will usually NOT be part of the data set.
Is it true that the median is always one of the data points in a set of data?
No, it is not necessarily true that the median is always one of the data points in a set of data. The median is found by arranging the data in numerical order and selecting the middle value. This value might be one of the data points, but it could also be the average of two data points if there is an even number of values in the set.
What divides a set of data in half?
Median
What does the median tell you about the distribution of a set of data?
the midpoint of the data set
