Median - The median is a measure of central tendancy that is determined by sorting a list of values in ascending order and picking the middle value. For example, the median age would be 65 for the following set of observations: 19, 25, 36, 65, 66, 68, 70. Notice that the arithmetic mean is only 50 (significantly lower).

Median - Relating to or constituting the middle value in a distribution. The median is the middle point of a data set; 50% of the values are below this point, and 50% are above this point. Median is the middle value, when all possible values are listed in order. Median is not the same as Average (or Mean).

median - [mathematics] The middle value of a set of values when they are ordered by rank. Half the values in a set are higher than the median, and half are lower. When there are two middle values (if the set has an even number of elements) the median is the mean of these two values.
