In mathematics, the middle number of an
ordered group of numbers. If there is no
middle number (because there is an even
number of terms), the median is the mean
(average) of the two middle numbers. For
example, the median of the group 2, 3, 7, 11,
12 is 7; that of 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13 is 8 (the
average of 7 and 9).
