Detailed explanation-1: -The median is the value in the middle of a data set, meaning that 50% of data points have a value smaller or equal to the median and 50% of data points have a value higher or equal to the median. For a small data set, you first count the number of data points (n) and arrange the data points in increasing order.

Detailed explanation-2: -The median is the point on the scale that divides the distribution of scores in half (half of the scores fall above the median and half fall below). The mode is simply the score that occurs most frequently.

Detailed explanation-3: -The median is the middle value in distribution when the values are arranged in ascending or descending order. The median divides the distribution in half (there are 50% of observations on either side of the median value). In a distribution with an odd number of observations, the median value is the middle value.

Detailed explanation-4: -Median: the middle raw score of the distribution; 50 percent of the obtained raw scores are higher and 50 percent are lower than the median.

Detailed explanation-5: -from least to greatest or greatest to least; the median is the data value in the middle; if there is an even number of data values in the set, the median is the mean of the two middle values.
