Now, let’s use the statistics.median_high() method to find the median of grouped continuous data.

Code

import statistics
data1 = [1, 2, 3, 4,]
# using the data parameter alone
print('The high median value of the data is:', statistics.median_high(data1))
data2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
print('The high median value of the data is:', statistics.median_high(data2))

Explanation

  • Line 1: We imported the statistics module.
  • Line 3: We created a Data list we called data1.
  • Line 5: We returned the output for the value of the median for the grouped continuous data using the statistics.median_high() method.
  • Line 8: We created a Data list we called data2.
  • Line 9: We returned the output for the value of the median for the data using the statistics.median_high() method .
