Word Frequency: 9.5

Definitions

1.nounA central vein or nerve, especially the median vein or median nerve running through the forearm and arm.
2.nounA line segment joining the vertex of triangle to the midpoint of the opposing side.
3.nounThe number separating the higher half of a data 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 (e.g., the median of {3, 3, 5, 9, 11} is 5). If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values.
4.nounThe median strip; the area separating two lanes of opposite-direction traffic.
5.adjectiveSituated in the middle; central, intermediate.
6.adjectiveIn the middle of an organ, structure etc.; towards the median plane of an organ or limb.
