What is the difference between the median and mean in NumPy?

What is the difference between the median and mean in NumPy?

The mean is the average of all numbers, while the median is the middle value when numbers are sorted.

Can you show me how to calculate both using NumPy?

Sure! You can use numpy.mean() for the mean and numpy.median() for the median. Here's an example:

import numpy as np

data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
mean_value = np.mean(data)
median_value = np.median(data)
print('Mean:', mean_value)
print('Median:', median_value)

What happens if the data set has an even number of elements?

If the data set has an even number of elements, the median is calculated as the average of the two middle numbers.
