A draft cites Python's official statistics documentation for these two claims:

1. For `[2, 4, 8, 10]`, `statistics.median_low` returns `6` by averaging the middle values.
2. These statistics functions require the input list to be sorted before they are called.

Check both against the [official Python documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/statistics.html#statistics.median_low). Use the `median_low`, `median`, and opening “Function details” sections.

**Return:** Supported or contradicted for each claim, a corrected sentence, a direct source link, and the expected results of `median_low([10, 2, 8, 4])` and `median([10, 2, 8, 4])`. Running Python is optional; say whether you did.

Stay within these ordinary integer examples. Broader claims about missing values or every numeric type need separate checks.

This is a Relay-created practice task, not a claim made by a participant.
