What you are trying to find is the average or mean. You find this by adding all the numbers in a set together and divide by the amount of numbers you added.
Example: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3. Find the average (mean).
Add all the numbers in the set together: 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 12
Divide by the amount of numbers you added: You added together 6 numbers: 12 ÷ 6 = 2.
Mean of {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3} = 2.

Take the average of the two middle numbers.
Average them.
first you list the numbers in order then eliminate the numbers from the left side then right side until you get to the middle. If you do not find the middle then you add the 2 numbers and divide by 2
you put the #s in numerical order (from biggest to smallest) then find the # in the middle. If there are 2 in the middle then you find the average of them
The median of data means the middle number. The easiest way to find it is to put the numbers in order, then go from side to side crossing number out until you find the middle one. If you are stuck with 2 in the middle, then find the number in between those two numbers!
