The median is just the middle in a row of values. You may have the same number of values, but different values, which would make the median the same but the totals would be different.
False

In general, false. Calculation of the median has nothing whatever to do with the total of the data. Equal sized populations with equal means for any set of data, income or otherwise, must because of the method of calculation of the mean, have equal total data.
