Mean & Median

mm43 wrote regarding redundant ADR airspeed data used by PRIMs :

the mean of the polled values - be it from whatever number of sources
Respectfully disagreeing here, the information I have says :

When THREE sources are available, median value is used. That is, for 3 values, it is always possible to order them in such a fashion : lowest <= median <= highest

When TWO sources are available, mean value is used. That is mean = (valueA + valueB) / 2.

An expression seems to be used that covers both cases, and that is voted value, which could be either mean or median, depending on the number of available sources.
