Spanish term or phrase: las medianas
Fortalezas y debilidades del Perú para alcanzar el Grado de Inversión en comparación con *las medianas* de las categorías Ba y Baa.

De acuerdo a informes recientes de Fitch y S&P, es altamente probable que el Perú alcance el grado de inversión en la segunda mitad de 2008, puesto que para Fitch Ratings el Perú es el único país con clasificación BB+ y perspectiva positiva. Sin embargo, Standard&Poors no solo elogia el desempeño macroeconómico favorable de los últimos años, sino que identifica ciertas debilidades que el país tendría que superar para poder alcanzar el grado de inversión.

In probability theory and statistics, a median is described as the number separating the higher half of a sample, a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one.

  -> Thanks, but the same "Arithmetic, Statistics. the middle number in a given sequence of numbers, taken as the average of the two middle numbers"

disagree  Giovanni Rengifo: De acuerdo con Jesús. "average" is not the same as "mediana"
