Yes, if it is a mathematically well behaved distribution.

For a symmetric distribution, such as the Gaussian (Normal) it is the same as the mean.

For the Standard Normal or the Student's t the median is 0.

For the exponential distribution, with parameter lambda, the median is ln(2)/lambda. (ln = natural logarithm.]

A chi-squared distribution with k degrees of freedom has a median approximated by k*(1 - 2/9k)^3.

For a Beta(a, b) distribution the median depends on the incomplete Beta function but if a and b >1, then it can be approximated by (a - 1/3)/(a + b - 2/3).

For a Weibull distribution, with scale parameter L and shape parameter K, it is L*(ln2)^(1/K).

Does quantitative research use open ended question?

Quantitative research typically does not use open-ended questions, as it focuses on numerical data and statistical analysis. Instead, it often employs closed-ended questions that can be easily quantified, such as multiple-choice or Likert scale questions. Open-ended questions are more commonly associated with qualitative research, which seeks to explore deeper insights and individual perspectives. However, some mixed-methods approaches may incorporate both types of questions for a more comprehensive analysis.


How do you make chart of open ended questions?

I'm not sure what the question means but here we go with an answer. Open ended questions are one that when asked can not be answer with a simple yes or no. The answerer must elaborate, explain and otherwise embellish in order to give an answer. To ask an open ended question you don't as "why" but rather "what" and "how". Until you get used to asking such questions a good idea to write them down down ahead of time until the become second nature to you. There are statistical programs that can categorize open-ends. You could then create a chart based on the number of comments in each category.

What catheter is known as open ended tip?

The catheter known as having an open-ended tip is typically referred to as a "Foley catheter," specifically in its design as a urinary catheter. This type of catheter allows for continuous drainage of urine from the bladder due to its open tip, which facilitates flow. Open-ended catheters are often used for various medical procedures and can also be found in other types, such as certain types of central venous catheters.
