Median( <List of Raw Data> )
Determines the median of the list elements.
Examples:
  • Median({1, 2, 3}) yields 2.
  • Median({1, 1, 8, 8}) yields 4.5.
Median( <List of Numbers>, <List of Frequencies> )
Calculates the weighted median of the list elements.
Example:
  • Median({1, 2, 3}, {4, 1, 3}) yields 1.5.
  • Median({1, 2, 3, 4}, {6, 1, 3, 6}) yields 3.
Note:
  • If the length of the given list is even, the arithmetic mean of the two center elements is returned.
  • See also Mean command.
