Medien meaning in math

In mathematics, "Medien" is a German term that translates to "median" in English. The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a set of data when all values are arranged in numerical order. It is calculated by finding the value that separates the higher half of the data from the lower half. The median is often used as a measure of central tendency in skewed distributions or in data sets with outliers.
