4. 
   Median
   The value (rate of return, market sensitivity, etc) that exceeds one-half of the values in the sample and is exceeded by the other half. The median is always the middle value, as distinct from the mean, which represents the average value. For example, if five items cost £20, £80, £100, £300 and £500 respectively, the median value would be £100, whereas the mean or average would be £200.

    Median
    In probability theory and statistics, a `median` is described as the number separating the higher half of a sample, a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. The `median` of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one. If there is an even number of observations, the median is not unique, so one often takes the mean of the two middle v...
