Work Step by Step

$P_{50}$ is the value under which 50% of the values are, therefore it is the middle value. The median is the value under which half of the values are, because it is the middle value. $Q_{2}$ is the number for which two quarters of the numbers are under, therefore it is the middle value. Therefore these values are the same.
