it is the middle two numbers added together and then divided by two

If you have numbers like 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 the median would be between 3 and 4 so the median would be 3.5
put then in order from smallest to largest (or large to small) and find the number directly in the middle
The median is the middle number of a 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. 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.
The median of a group of numbers is the middle of the group. For example: 1,7,11,6,10. First, you need to put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 1,6,7,10,11. Then you count up the amount of numbers (5). Since 5 is an odd number if you take away 1 then there is 4 (an even number). The median is 7, because it is in the middle of all 5 numbers.
The median for the first 20 prime numbers would be 30. This is because the middle two numbers of the first 20 prime numbers are 29 and 31. To find the median from this, we need to find the average of these two numbers. This is 30.
