then
X /n 5.5
if X=[1,2,4,6,9,10,12,14,17]
then 9 is the median
if X=[1,2,4,6,9,10,11,12,14,17]
then 9.5 is the median; i.e., (9+10)/2
There are ways of dealing with repeated numbers in the centre
of the distribution; e.g., if X=[1,2,4,6,9,10,10,10,10,11,12,14,17]
if X=[1,2,4,6,6,6,8,10,12,14,17]
then 6 is the mode
Useful to counterbalance a mean age of onset
So, if your data set is skewed you do NOT want the mean,
you want the median (could use mode but not as common)
