FAQ
How is the median found, and why does the process depend on whether the data set has an even or odd count?⌄
For an odd count of values, the median is the exact middle value after ordering; for an even count, the median is the mean of the two middle values — 5th graders learn both procedures for data sets of different sizes.
How do range, median, and mode each describe a data set differently?⌄
Range describes spread (how wide the data is), median describes the center (the middle value that splits the data in half), and mode describes frequency (the most common value) — together they give a more complete picture than any single statistic.
What is an outlier, and how does it affect median vs. mode?⌄
An outlier (a value much larger or smaller than the rest) barely affects the median (since it only shifts the middle slightly) but does not affect the mode at all — this is one reason median and mode are called 'resistant' statistics.
