The three true statements about the median are:
1. **The median is the number in the middle of an ordered set of values.**
2. **The median must be calculated by finding the mean of the two middle points when there is an even number of data points.**
3. **Put the values in numerical order before trying to find the median.**
The statement "The median is always greatly impacted by outliers" is false, as the median is less affected by outliers compared to the mean. The statement "Median is a number that is much lower or much higher than the rest of the numbers" is also false, as that describes an outlier rather than the median.
