Question 1102229: For which variables is it appropriate to use the median?
Answer by Lightning_Fast(78) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The median can be represented by a 'mu' greek letter, as represented by the photograph below.

It can also be represented by an x with a bar over it, as represented by the photograph below.

The symbols I showed above have historically represented the mean, but technically, you can use any letter, greek letter, or symbol to represent it.
