No, those are not the correct formulas for finding the median for even and odd numbers of data points.

Here are the correct ways to find the position of the median:

  • For an odd number of data points (nn): The median is the value at the position given by: n+12\frac{n+1}{2}

  • For an even number of data points (nn): The median is the average of the values at two positions: n2andn2+1\frac{n}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{n}{2} + 1 So, you find the values at these two positions and then calculate their average.
