Advanced MCQ on Median with Answer Key (PDF)

The median is a statistical measure that represents the middle value in a data set when the values are arranged in ascending or descending order. If the data set has an odd number of observations, the median is the single middle value. If the data set has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values. The median is less affected by outliers and skewed data compared to the mean, making it a useful measure of central tendency in distributions that are not symmetrical. It provides a better representation of the “typical” value in such cases. This is an advanced MCQ on Median with answer key PDF.
