Order the observations according their ordinal value. If you have an odd number, k, of observations, then the observation is position (k+1)/2 is the median. are lucky, the median is the middle-ranking observation.
If you have an even number of observations then the median is the average of the observations ranked k/2 and k/2+1. If you are lucky, both will be the same and so will be the median. Otherwise there may be no reliable measure of the median.

The mode is the only one of these measure which can be used with qualitative data: the mean or median are impossible to compute. Also, for a data set consisting of a relatively small number of observations of a discrete variable the mode or modal class is the easiest to find.
how do i find the median of a continuous probability distribution
There would be no median.
The median is 8.
IF you want to find the median in a maths question you get your sequence and put it in order (smallest to largest) then to find the median you find the middle number and if there is no middle number you half the one the is closest to the middlei hope i helped you
