This document provides formulas and steps to calculate the median for different types of data sets. For a discrete data set with an even number of items, the median is the average of the two middle numbers after arranging the data in ascending or descending order. For a continuous data set, the median is the value of the class that contains the midpoint of the total frequency. The formula is: Median = Lower Limit of Median Class + Midpoint of Median Class - Cumulative Frequency of Preceding Class. The document also provides the definitions and formulas to calculate the quartiles and deciles from a data set. Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts, deciles divide into ten equal parts.
