Question

When the median is used as the measure of center, it will always be a value from the data set. True or false

Answer 1

false

Explanation:

Median is the number that is in the middle or centre of an ordered set of observations. the order could be ascending or descending

For example,

3,6,7,8,11

the median of these numbers is : 7

the value of the median is from the data set

consider another set of numbers : 3,6,7,8

median = (6+7)/2 = 6.5

here the value of the median is not from the data set
