The median can be found using percentiles by calculating the 50th percentile of the dataset. In a dataset, the median is the value that separates the data into two equal halves. This means that 50% of the data points are below the median, and the remaining 50% are above the median.
Here's how you can find the median using the numpy library in Python:
import numpy as np
# Sample dataset
data = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]
# Calculate the median (50th percentile)
median = np.percentile(data, 50)
print("Median:", median)
In this code, np.percentile(data, 50) calculates the value at the 50th percentile, which is the median of the dataset. The median value is the value you're looking for.
