The median shows where the 'middle' of your data is. For qualitative data, this only makes sense when the variable is ordinal. An ordinal variable is one whose values have a natural order, eg never/rarely/sometimes/often/always. If you have nominal data (qualitative data with no order) eg democratic/republican/other, you might find the mode (most common value) useful.

How do you calculate standard deviation using median?
You cannot because the standard deviation is not related to the median.
What is a sentence using the word median?
"Finding the median of a group of numbers usually isn't very challenging"
What is the definition qualitative graph?
a graph where a function is described without using specific values
Do extreme values affect the median?
No they do not (or at least they have less of a significant impact) and this is the benefit of using the median average over the mean average.
Is heart quantitative or qualitative?
Heart rate is generally a quantitative measurement. You can give a specific number (quantity) for it. You could express heart rate as a qualitative measurement by simply using comparative phrases such as fast, faster, slow slower, dangerously high, dangerously low, etc. Often the quantitative measurement is mapped to the qualitative terms to give a quantitative range that can map to a qualitative term to express the impact of that type of heart rate.

How do you get the answer using median?

When using the mean: the variance or standard deviation. When using the median: the range or inter-quartile range.
Can experimental research be done using qualitative data?
yes
What type of reasoning does qualitative research use?
