Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median is a measure of central tendency that identifies the middle point in a distribution of responses. This means that half of the responses fall below the median and half fall above the median. It is different from the mean, which is the average response, as it is not affected by extreme values or outliers in the data set.
