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... :)

You take those numbers and find the median number of those say you got 6 and 8, The median would be 7. If the two numbers were 6 and 6, The median would be 6. If the two numbers are 6 and 7, the median would be 6.5
yes, there can be. Just find the median like you normally would, except when you get to the middle 2 numbers, add them together, and divide by 2. This is the 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.
To find the median of a group of numbers, you would need to find the middle number of the whole group. 1 6 8 9 7 2 1 Here is the (example) group of numbers that you will find the Median in. Simply cross out numbers on each side of the set of numbers until you are left with a reamaining number. This is your Median. 1 6 8 9 7 2 1
It depends on the data set, but if you take the data set 1,2,3 2 is the median and to find the mean you have to add all the numbers and divide by the number of items so 1+2+3=6 and 6 divided by 3= 2 now the median is 2 and the mean is 2 so this is when they can be the same
