In statistics, the median is the value, that is exactly in the middle of a sorted list.
If the number of values is odd, the middle number is the median. For example, for the unordered list 7, 9, 12, 1, 3, 2, 14, the number 7 is the median because this value is in the middle in the ordered list 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 14.
If the number of values is even, the median is defined as the arithmetic mean of the two middle numbers. For example, for the unordered list 7, 9, 12, 1, 3, 2, 14, 8, the value 7.5 is the median, because the two values 7 and 8 in the ordered list 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14 is in the middle.
