Lower median order statistic · case 02

The upper middle position violates the lower-median convention.

Case contract

Integer finite observations and equal lengths for paired samples. Counts and weights are nonnegative. Rational results use reduced Fraction strings. Empty or undefined statistics return None where shown. Lower median order statistic. Exact operational definition: sorted(values)[(len(values)-1)//2] if values else None

Why this case matters

Small exact fixtures expose this error without platform timing, external services, or probabilistic observations. Statistical estimators results depend on the stated convention.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
