Median Defined
The number that falls halfway in a range of numbers--the score below which are half the scores and above which are the other half. The median is a way of calculating 'central tendency' which is sometimes more useful than calculating a mean (particularly when many extreme scores are in the distribution).
This definition is in context to Sociology. See more contextual defintions for Median.

- "John Tukey?s median of medians" (The Endeavour): "Tukey gave M = 1,000,000 as an example of what he called an ?impractically large data set.? I suppose finding the median of 81 million data points was impractical in 1978, though it?s a trivial problem today.
