THE MATH
Mean = sum of values ÷ number of values
Median = the middle value when sorted
Median = the middle value when sorted
The mean is the balance point of the data; the median is the middle value and resists outliers.
When a few large values skew the mean, the median is often the better summary.

Enter numbers separated by commas or spaces; anything that is not a number is ignored.
The mean is sensitive to outliers; one very large value pulls it up.
