Example

Calculate the low median (middle value) of the given data:

# Import statistics Library
import statistics

# Calculate the low middle values
print(statistics.median_low([1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13]))
print(statistics.median_low([1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]))
print(statistics.median_low([-11, 5.5, -3.4, 7.1, -9, 22]))

Syntax

statistics.median_low(data)

Parameter Values

Parameter Description
data Required. The data values to be used (can be any sequence, list or iterator)
