You'd probably be wanting to find the average of something, like the average amount of snowfall every year (i wish it would snow more often here). I'm not sure why you'd need to use medians in your life.

Why would you use median instead of mean?
You would use median instead of mean because the median doesn't find the average, it finds the middle value. Even if its not the middle of the range (the exact middle value between the lowest number and the highest number) it still is near to the middle value. The mean finds the average of all the numbers, like when a teacher average's her students' grades. Median is better to use when finding the middle value, not the average.
