python-scipyHow do I calculate the median using Python and SciPy?

The median is the middle value in a dataset when the values are ordered from smallest to largest. It can be calculated using Python and SciPy with the following steps:

1. Import the SciPy library:

import scipy

2. Create a list of values in the dataset:

data_set = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14]

3. Calculate the median using the median() function:

median = scipy.median(data_set)
print(median)

Output example

8

4. The median of the dataset is 8.
