What is the difference between median and average?
The average is the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers. The median is a numeric value that separates the higher half of a set from the lower half.
What is the median of a set of numbers?
The median of a set of data values is the middle value. Half the data values are less than or equal to the median. Half the data values are greater than or equal to the median.
What is relation between mean median and mode?
Empirical Relationship between Mean, Median and Mode In case of a moderately skewed distribution, the difference between mean and mode is almost equal to three times the difference between the mean and median. Thus, the empirical mean median mode relation is given as: Mean – Mode = 3 (Mean – Median)
Why is ethics important in physiotherapy?
The Code of Ethics reflects physiotherapists’ commitment to use their knowledge and expertise to promote high quality, competent and ethical care for patients and thereby instill in the public, confidence in the profession. Making ethical decisions is not always easy and can be accompanied by significant discomfort.

What is the median between two numbers?
The median of a set of numbers is the middle number in the set (after the numbers have been arranged from least to greatest) — or, if there are an even number of data, the median is the average of the middle two numbers.
What are the three averages?
There are three main types of average: mean, median and mode. Each of these techniques works slightly differently and often results in slightly different typical values. The mean is the most commonly used average. To get the mean value, you add up all the values and divide this total by the number of values.
How do we calculate the median?
Median
- Arrange your numbers in numerical order.
- Count how many numbers you have.
- If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.
- If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.
