Median Calculator
Median is evaluated from Number 1, Number 2 and Number 3. The calculation reports Count, Median and Mean.

About the Median Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
2. If n is odd: median = value at position ⌊n/2⌋ (0-indexed).
3. If n is even: median = average of values at positions n/2 - 1 and n/2.
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: 2. If n is odd: median = value at position ⌊n/2⌋ (0-indexed). 3. If n is even: median = average of values at positions n/2 - 1 and n/2. Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Odd dataset: 15, 42, 8, 27, 33
Inputs
With Number 1 = 15, Number 2 = 42, Number 3 = 8 and Number 4 = 27 as the stated inputs, the result is Count = 10, Median = 10 and Mean = 17.5. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: Even dataset (incomes $K): 45, 52, 38, 95, 61, 48
Inputs
With Number 1 = 45, Number 2 = 52, Number 3 = 38 and Number 4 = 95 as the stated inputs, the result is Count = 10, Median = 41.5 and Mean = 37.9. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: Reaction times (ms): 245, 312, 198, 287, 421, 234, 301, 189
Inputs
With Number 1 = 245, Number 2 = 312, Number 3 = 198 and Number 4 = 287 as the stated inputs, the result is Count = 10, Median = 239.5 and Mean = 220.7. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: House prices ($K): 280, 310, 275, 850, 295, 305, 320
Inputs
With Number 1 = 280, Number 2 = 310, Number 3 = 275 and Number 4 = 850 as the stated inputs, the result is Count = 10, Median = 287.5 and Mean = 266.5. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
