Do you mean in a sequence of numbers?
ex. 24, 65, 32, 15, 45, 78
You would take the two middle numbers which are 32 & 15
Add them together, you will get 47
Then divide that number by 2 since you added two numbers, so 47 /2, you will get 23.5

Find the average. That is, add all of the even numbers together, then divide that by the number of even numbers.
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.
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!
Arrange the numbers least to greatest. The median is the number in the middle if you have an odd number of numbers. It's the average of the middle two if you have an even number of numbers.
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.
