Question 5
a) Median value is a set of measurements which takes the middle position when the measurements are arranged in the ascending order or from lowest to highest (Ott and Longnecker 79). It is used in measuring midpoint of a large set of data distribution which will latter reflect the central value of the distribution. The central value is the value which divides the data distribution into two groups with each equal measurement. The median follows the principle of arranging the data in ascending order which makes it relevant in getting the middle data in the distribution.
b) The median population in the map above is 37. 2
