Understand
Median
Central value of a sample of "n " elements, which
are ordered from low to high ( or vice versa) . In the
event that the sample size is a even number of data
, the median is the average of the two middle
values ; and when the sample size is an odd
number of data, the median is the central value.
Formula for the median
when is an odd number::
When is it used?
Use the median chart when you want to plot all the measured values, not just
subgroup statistics. This may be the case when subgroup ranges vary a great
deal, as showing all the points will emphasize the spread. It shows that
individual data points can fall outside the control limits, while the central
location is within the limits.
Use the median chart when you can answer yes to these questions:
Example:
Set data pair:
2,3,4,9,6,7,8,2,4,6,3,5
Median chart
What is it?
A median chart is a special purpose variation of the X-bar chart.
Range Chart
Although median charts show both central location and spread,
they are often paired with range charts.
Whats a Range?
Range is an estimate of spread in a set of data points; the
difference between the highest and lowest values in the data
set.

EXAMPLE
Hotel
Satisfaction
A
hotel
measures
customer
satisfaction with a survey that
records a rating from 1 (worst
quality) to 10 (best quality). Every
week the hotel calculates average
ratings for the week.
The manager desires to know if
quality is consistent or changing
over time. Weekly ratings for a
series of weeks are 8.8, 8.1, 8.9,
9.2, 8.2, 8.0, 8.7, 9.0, 8.2, 8.5,
and
7.6.
The
manager
is
concerned about the last weeks
rating of 7.6. Does it represent a
statistical anomaly, or is it simply a
result of random variation?.

So,
one
thing
the
manager may want to
know is if that 7.6 fits the
random pattern of the
other data, or if it does
not.
