Put the values in numerical order before trying to find the median.
The median is the number in the middle of an ordered set of values.
The median must be calculated by finding the mean of the two middle points when there is an even number of data points.

The first and second statements clarify the process of finding the median, while the third statement describes how to calculate the median in the case of an even number of data points.

The statement about the median being greatly impacted by outliers is not true; the median is less affected by outliers compared to the mean, and the statement that it is a number much lower or much higher than the rest is incorrect when describing the median.
