One way to start understanding how the numbers are positioned within the minimum and maximum is to find the median. This is the middle number. To get this, you need to sort the data into order, and count how many there are. If there are an odd number, it's easy to find the middle one. If there are an even number, then you must find the mean of the two middle numbers.
In this case, the median of 2 and 6 is 4... :)

What happens if you have 2 Median?
You take those numbers and find the median number of those say you got 6 and 8, The median would be 7. If the two numbers were 6 and 6, The median would be 6. If the two numbers are 6 and 7, the median would be 6.5
Can there be a median with 6 numbers?
yes, there can be. Just find the median like you normally would, except when you get to the middle 2 numbers, add them together, and divide by 2. This is the median.
Who do you find the median of a group of numbers?
To find the median of a group of numbers, you would need to find the middle number of the whole group. 1 6 8 9 7 2 1 Here is the (example) group of numbers that you will find the Median in. Simply cross out numbers on each side of the set of numbers until you are left with a reamaining number. This is your Median. 1 6 8 9 7 2 1
How do you find the median with an even data set?
The median is the mean of the middle two. For example, find the median of the set {1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 15, 20}. There are 8 items in the data set, so the median is the mean of the middle two. The middle two are the 4th and 5th data items: 6 & 9 median = mean of 6 & 9 = (6 + 9)/2 = 7.5
How do you find the median of 6 numbers with 2 of those numbers being the same?
You find the median like normal: 1) list ALL the numbers in order from least to greatest putting any repeated numbers next to each other; 2) if there is an odd number of numbers the median is the middle one - to find which one it is add one to the number of numbers and divide by 2, eg if there are 11 numbers: (11+1)/2 = 6, so it is the 6th number; 3) otherwise there is an even number of numbers and the median is the mean average of the middle two - to find which ones divide the number of numbers by 2 and then find the mean average of that one and the next one, eg if there are 12 numbers 12/2 = 6, so find the mean average of the 6th and 7th numbers. examples: find the median of {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 2} {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 2} → {1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6} → 6 numbers, therefore mean of middle two (6/3 = 3 → 3rd and 4th) = (2 + 4)/2 = 3 find the median of {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 4} {1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 4} → {1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6} → 6 numbers, therefore mean of middle two (6/3 = 3 → 3rd and 4th) = (4 + 4)/2 = 4 find the median of {1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 2} {1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 2} → {1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 6} → 6 numbers, therefore mean of middle two (6/3 = 3 → 3rd and 4th) = (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5 If there is an even number of numbers in the set, the median does not have to be (and usually isn't) one of the numbers in the set.
Find the mean median mode and range in 3 6 2 3 8 2?
Mean = 4 Median = 3Mode = 2 and 3Range = 6Mean = 4 Median = 3Mode = 2 and 3Range = 6Mean = 4 Median = 3Mode = 2 and 3Range = 6Mean = 4 Median = 3Mode = 2 and 3Range = 6

Can there be a median with 6 numbers?

Find the median for 8 4 7 2 8 3 5 and 6?
The median of the numbers 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 is 5.5.
Find the median of 4 6 9 6 7 6?
I've ranked you're data with the two centered values in parenthesis: 4 6 (6 6) 7 9, median = (6+6)/2 = 6
Who do you find the median of a group of numbers?
To find the median of a group of numbers, you would need to find the middle number of the whole group. 1 6 8 9 7 2 1 Here is the (example) group of numbers that you will find the Median in. Simply cross out numbers on each side of the set of numbers until you are left with a reamaining number. This is your Median. 1 6 8 9 7 2 1
How do you find the median with an even data set?
The median is the mean of the middle two. For example, find the median of the set {1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 15, 20}. There are 8 items in the data set, so the median is the mean of the middle two. The middle two are the 4th and 5th data items: 6 & 9 median = mean of 6 & 9 = (6 + 9)/2 = 7.5
What is the median of 1 2 6 6 4 3 5 5 2 6 3?
The median is 4.
What is the median of -3 5 -4 3 2 2 2?
The median is the middle value. 2 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 Median = 3

When mean and median will be same?
It depends on the data set, but if you take the data set 1,2,3 2 is the median and to find the mean you have to add all the numbers and divide by the number of items so 1+2+3=6 and 6 divided by 3= 2 now the median is 2 and the mean is 2 so this is when they can be the same
How do you find the median if there are two data items in the middle?
take the average of them so say my points are: 1,2,3,3,4,6,7,8,9,9 then the median is between 4 and 6 so (4+6)/2 is 5
