Median
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007120
The middle value in a dataset when all the values are arranged in ascending or descending order. If there is an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle values. It is a measure of central tendency that is less sensitive to outliers than the mean.
