Answer 5

With data that have an odd number of observations the median is simply the middle observation after the data are ranked in order from smallest to largest.
When a data set has an even number of members, the median lies halfway betwenn the two values in the middle of the sample; for example:
62, 73, 73, 78, 86, 89, 90, 95
The two middle values are 78 and 86. the median is then (78 + 86)/2 = 82. Note that four values are below 82 and four are above 82.
