The median is the middle number of any given 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.

when there are extreme values in the data
Median
Let the data set be 3,4,5,6,7,8. First put the data in rank order ; already done!!!! To find the MEDIAN , we tak the two middle numbers, '5' & '6' in this case. Then (5 + 6) / 2 = 11/2 = 5.5 5.5 is the Median.
the midpoint of the data set
No, a data set cannot have more than one median. The median is defined as the middle value of a sorted data set, or the average of the two middle values if the data set has an even number of observations. While a data set can have repeated values, the median itself remains a single value that represents the central tendency of the data.
