"When you call 911 to report a life-threatening illness or injury it
triggers a priority 1 EMS response. We aim for a median EMS response
time of 6 minutes or less for priority 1 responses."
yes that makes more sense than saying "median of 6 minutes 90% of time"

they are doing a hair better than meeting their goal - 6 minute median
for Priority 1 calls
median = the number in the middle of the range of values - like the
median in the highway - its the number in the middle - if the numbers
are 1 666 999 - then 666 is the median
I wonder if they disregard any values over 12 minutes - that might
give them a median of 6 minutes no matter what their "real" average is
