Median<br />
A median is the middle of a distribution.<br />
• Half the scores are above the median <strong>and</strong> half are below the<br />
median.<br />
• How do I compute the median?<br />
•<br />
•<br />
If there is an odd number of numbers, the median is the<br />
middle number. For example, the median of 5, 8, <strong>and</strong> 11<br />
is 8.<br />
If there is an even number of numbers, the median is<br />
the mean of the two middle numbers. The median of the<br />
numbers 4, 8, 9, 13 is (8+9)/2 =8.5.
