Median

  Median [ edit ] In general, there is no single formula to find the  median  for a binomial distribution, and it may even be non-unique. However, several special results have been established: If  np  is an integer, then the mean, median, and mode coincide and equal  np . [10] [11] Any median  m  must lie within the interval ⌊ np ⌋ ≤  m  ≤ ⌈ np ⌉. [12] A median  m  cannot lie too far away from the mean:  | m  −  np | ≤ min{ ln 2, max{ p , 1 −  p }  }. [13] The median is unique and equal to  m  =  round ( np ) when | m  −  np | ≤ min{ p , 1 −  p } (except for the case when  p  =  1 / 2  and  n  is odd). [12] When  p  is a rational number (with the exception of  p  = 1/2 and  n  odd) the median is unique. [14] When  p  = 1/2 and  n  is odd, any number  m ...
