Median of Statistics Data
This section contains two programs:
%TILE returns the value of a specified percentile of a list.
MEDIAN uses %TILE to calculate the median of the current statistics data.
%TILE (Percentile of a list)
%TILE sorts a list, then returns the value of a specified percentile of the list. For example, typing {list} 50 and pressing %©TILE% returns the median (50th percentile) of the list.
