when you put the numbers in order as described the number in the middle is the median. If 2 numbers are in the middle as in this case 56 and 58 you average them and get 57 as the median
The median is 85.
57
The median of 13, 24, 57, 73, and 86 is 57.
85

There are 14 numbers - therefore, the median number is halfway between the seventh and eighth number. This is therefore 70.5.
65.55
The median of the set of data does not have to be close in value to the mean. First of all, what is the median? The median is the middle number between a set of numbers. So if you are asked what the median of a set of numbers is.... put the set of numbers in order from lowest in value to highest value. Example.... 1, 2, 3, 45, 100, 1010, 1020. In this example, what is the median, or the middle number? It's ... 45! If you want to find the mean ... add all of the numbers and divide the sum by the AMOUNT of numbers there are in the set.... the sum of the set is 2181.. and there are 7 numbers in the set. The mean is 2181 / 7 = 311. 57. You can see that 311 is not close in value to 45.

It is 38.5, the number halfway between the two middle numbers, when they are in order.
