Median
Empire of Medes
Median identifies the middle value in a set of numbers arranged in order—half fall above it, half below.
Unlike an average, the median isn't skewed by extreme values: The median home price better reflects what typical buyers pay.
In anatomy, median means situated along the body's midline.
A median or median strip is the dividing barrier between opposing lanes of traffic.
