Definition
value representing for n real values not necessarily different from each other, real number such that the number of values less than it is equal to the number of values greater than it.

IEC 60050, 103-08-15; IEC 62569-1:2017
Note
If n is odd, the median is the value of rank (n+1)/2 when the values are arranged in increasing order. If n is even, the median may be any number between the values of rank n/2 and (n/2+1) usually the arithmetic mean of these two values
Remark
The term median is a good choice to represent the centre of distribution when the distribution is skewed or has outliers
