One disadvantage of using the median is that it may not accurately represent the entire dataset if there are extreme outliers present, as the median is not influenced by the magnitude of these outliers. Additionally, the median may not be as intuitive to interpret as the mean for some individuals, as it does not provide a direct measure of the total value of the dataset. Finally, calculating the median can be more computationally intensive compared to other measures of central tendency, especially with large datasets.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of median?
Median cannot be used for qualitative data (a mode can).The sampling distribution of the median is complicated (the mean is well studied).Median can usually be used for data that can be ordered without there being a ratio scale. For example, "small-medium-large", or "very negative-negative-neutral-positive-very positive". A mean cannot be calculated without arbitrarily assigning a numerical value to the terms.A median is not dependent on all the values which means that it is not distorted by outliers (extreme values).It is easy to find the median value from cumulative frequency charts.

What is median grade in 5th grade?
the median in math is the middle number of your data for example: 1,3,5,7,9. the median in that is 5.
