The median is the middle number of any given set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two.
Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68)
The median is 20.
In any given set, the mean is the average, which is the total of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are.
Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68)
68 + 45 + 20 + 17 + 10 = 160
There are 5 numbers in this set.
160/5 = 32
The mean is 32.
