The value that has half the observations above it and half the observations below it is called the median. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset, the mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of observations, and the mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. None of these measures represent the middle value of a dataset like the median does.
