👉 Median computing is a statistical measure that represents the middle value in a dataset when it's ordered from least to greatest. If there's an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. Unlike the mean, which can be skewed by outliers (extremely high or low values), the median provides a more robust measure of central tendency, making it particularly useful for datasets with irregular distributions or outliers. For instance, if you're analyzing income levels in a population where a few individuals earn significantly more than others, the median income would give a clearer picture of the typical income than the mean, which might be inflated by those high earners.
