I often encounter the following, which if "listened to" carefully "sounds
good" but is not accurate. Such explanation/definition can confuse students.
What do you think?
"To find the median (or mid point) we need to identify the point which has
the property that half the data are greater than it, and half the data are
less than it."
Consider this!!!!
(what % ?)
<----50%------MEDIAN------50%---->
Less Greater
