Question

What if my dataset has an even number of values? How is the median calculated in R?

Answer 1

When the dataset has an even number of values, the median is calculated as the average of the two middle values. 

Here's an example code snippet:

# Create a numeric vector with even number of values
data <- c(10, 20, 30, 40)

# Calculate the median
median_value <- median(data)

# Print the median
print(median_value)
 

Output:

[1] 25
