What happens with an even number of values?: When you have an even count, the median is the average of the two middle values.
When should I use median instead of mean?: Use the median when your data has outliers or is skewed. For example, median income is more representative than mean income.
Is the median always one of the values in my dataset?: Not always. With an even count, the median may be a value between two data points.
