For an even number of sorted values, the median is:

To find the median of a dataset, the values must first be arranged in ascending or descending order. The median is the central value of the distribution. There are two scenarios based on the number of observations ($n$): 1. **Odd number of values ($n$ is odd):** The median is the single value located at the exact middle position, $\rac{n+1}{2}$. 2. **Even number of values ($n$ is even):** There is no single middle value. Instead, there are two middle values at positions $\rac{n}{2}$ and $\rac{n}{2} + 1$. In this case, the median is calculated as the arithmetic mean (average) of these two middle values. \nFormula for even $n$: $$\ ext{Median} = \rac{\ ext{Value at } (n/2) + \ ext{Value at } (n/2 + 1)}{2}$$ \nTherefore, for an even number of sorted values, the median is the average of the two middle values.
