List the numbers in order, cross out the first number, the last number, the second first number then the second last number, and so on. The only number left is your median.
Here's an Example:
Here's the set of numbers.
3,9,5,6,1,2,8
Place them in order.
1,2,3,5,6,8,9
Crossing out.
1,2,3,5,6,8,9
1,2,3,5,6,8,9
1,2,3,5,6,8,9
Your answer is revealed!
Your final answer is 5.

It would be the middle number of a set of numbers or data in numerical order
One way to start understanding how the numbers are positioned within the minimum and maximum is to find the median. This is the middle number. To get this, you need to sort the data into order, and count how many there are. If there are an odd number, it's easy to find the middle one. If there are an even number, then you must find the mean of the two middle numbers.In this case, the median of 2 and 6 is 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.
The median is the number in the middle. Arrange all the scores from smallest to biggest and the middle on is the median if there is an odd number of scores. If there is an even number of scores, find the mean of the two middle numbers and that is the median.
