What is a median in math?

The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of
numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average.

Median is the middle number in a sorted list of numbers. To determine the
median value in a sequence of numbers, the numbers must first be sorted, or
arranged, in value order from lowest to highest or highest to lowest.

If there is an odd amount of numbers, the median value is the number that is
in the middle, with the same amount of numbers below and above.
If there is an even amount of numbers in the list, the middle pair must be
determined, added together, and divided by two to find the median value.

The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in
the sequence that might skew the average of the values.
