Answer:

The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median provides a helpful measure of the centre of a dataset. By comparing the median to the mean, you can get an idea of the distribution of a dataset. When the mean and the median are the same, the dataset is more or less evenly distributed from the lowest to highest values.
