First of all , place the numbers in rank order. Already done in this case.
1,4,9,15,25,36
Since there are an even number of terms, we take the absolute middle two terms, '9' and '15'.
Add together and divide by '2'
Hence ( 9 + 15) / 2 = 24/2 = 12
12 is the median.

Oh, dude, the median is just the middle number when all the numbers are lined up in order. So, with those numbers, you just gotta count to the middle and boom, there it is. In this case, the median would be 20 because it's the middle number when you arrange them in ascending order. Easy peasy!
