In Lean, median_resistant says: 3 ≤ l.length → medianSorted (l.set (l.length - 1) v) = medianSorted l. Why is the hypothesis 3 ≤ l.length needed?
Write five_number_summary(data) returning a tuple (minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum) using this lesson's rule: sort the data; the median is the middle value (or the mean of the two middle values); and are the medians of the lower and upper halves, leaving out the median when the number of values is odd. Use a helper median(values).
