For example, if a set of data that consists of: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9, the median is 3 because it lies in the midpoint of the data set. When a data set has an even number of values, the average of the two values in the middle is usually used as the median. Median salary is simply the median of a set of salary data.
In a previous post, I showed how the mean salary and median salary can be very different. The median is much better than the arithmetic mean for giving a âtypical' annual salary; median is the method that we favor in our PayScale salary survey. In fact, the median is better for characterizing âtypicalâ in almost any data set.
