The middle number (in a sorted list of numbers).To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number.Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}.Put them in order: {10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 26}The middle number is 15, so the median is 15.(If there are two middle numbers, you average them.
you find the two numbers in the middle and add them. divide the sum by two. that's the median.
To find the median with two numbers, do as you would to find the "average" or the "mean" by finding the sum between the two numbers and dividing the sum (or total) by two.
If you order the numbers from the higher to the lowest, the median is the number separating the lower half of the numbers from the higher half of the numbers in the set. If you have an odd number of elements in the set then the median is in the middle of this descending ordered numbers. If you have an even number of elements then, in order to determine the median, you calculate the mean of the two middle values.
The median of a set of numbers in the number that is exactly center. For example, if 1,2,3,4,5,6,&7 were a set of numbers that you were asked to find the median of, 4 would be the correct answer. To find the median, one must order the number from least to greatest and cross out all the numbers until you find the center. In such case that you are asked to find the median in a set of number that has a even amount such as 1,2,3,&4, one would have to add together 2 an 3 then divide the product by 2.
