It looks like your question got cut off. Do you mean “the median is …” for a list of numbers, for grouped data, for a probability distribution, or are you asking about the geometric median (a triangle’s median)?
Here are quick definitions and formulas — tell me which you need or paste the full problem/data and I’ll compute it.
- For a finite list of numbers: sort them. If n is odd, median = the middle value x[(n+1)/2]. If n is even, median = average of the two middle values (x[n/2] + x[n/2+1]) / 2.
Example: {3,1,4,1,5} → sorted {1,1,3,4,5}, median = 3. {1,2,3,4} → median = (2+3)/2 = 2.5.
- For grouped (binned) frequency data: median ≈ L + [(N/2 − C)/f]·h
where L = lower class boundary of the median class, N = total frequency, C = cumulative frequency before median class, f = frequency of median class, h = class width.
- For a continuous distribution with CDF F, the median m satisfies F(m) = 0.5.
- In geometry (triangle): a median is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The three medians intersect at the centroid, which divides each median in a 2:1 ratio (vertex to centroid : centroid to midpoint).
If you paste the rest of your problem or the data, I’ll finish the calculation.
