The median is the middle number.
So for example:
2, 5, 4, 9, 7 x
Put them in order
2, 4, 5, 7, 9 x
Since you have an even amount of numbers, you need to take the 2 middle numbers, which are 5 and 7
5+7= 12 , 12 divided by 2 equals 6
x= 6
I had the same problem too one time..
Anyways, I hope this helped you!
Have a nice day :)

The Mean is the average of a given set of values. The Median is the value that has the same number of smaller values than the number of higher values, it is in the middle of them. In a symmetrical distribution the Mean is equal to the Median. In an asymmetrical distribution they have different value.
The median is the number in the middle. You find the median, by putting the values in order from lowest to highest, then find the number that is exactly in the middle. If you only have a single value, one could argue that it is in the middle. That would make the single value the median. One could also argue that there no numbers on either side to the definition makes no sense and there is no median of a single value.
It's the point for a set of points whose x-value is the median of all the given x-values and whose y-value is the median of all the given y-values. For example: (1,2) (2,1) (3,5) (6,4) (10,7) the median-median point would be (3,4)
Well, isn't that just a happy little problem to solve! To find the missing number when the median is given, you'll want to first list all the numbers in order. Then, if the median is the middle number, you can easily identify the missing number based on whether it falls before or after the median. Just remember, there are no mistakes in math, only happy little accidents!
No, there is never more than one median in a data set. The median is defined as the middle value when the data is arranged in order. If the data set has an odd number of observations, the median is the single middle value. If it has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values, which also results in a single value.
