- Unlike the arithmetic mean, the median can be computed from open-ended distributions. This is because it is located in the median class-interval, which would not be an open-ended class.
- The median can also be determined graphically whereas the arithmetic mean cannot be ascertained in this manner.
- As it is not influenced by the extreme values, it is preferred in case of a distribution having extreme values.
- In case of the qualitative data where the items are not counted or measured but are scored or ranked, it is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
