The median of a data set comprising only one value is that value. So the median of 2.5 is 2.5.
If you need to find a median between two numbers, pick one of them arbitrarily.
put them in order and the middle one is the median
If you have an even set of data then there are two middle numbers or medians. Average those two and create a median. Example: 2,3,4,7,9,10 4 and 7 are in the middle. (4+7)/2=5.5 5.5 is the median even though it is not one of the numbers in the data set.
Only if all values in the dataset are equal. Otherwise, it is impossible. If there are two numbers in the dataset, the median is the average of these two numbers. If there are three numbers, then the second number is the median or one number away from the maximum.
One set of data can have only one median.

No and a single number cannot have a median either you need a series (at least two) to have a median.
If you need to find a median between two numbers, pick one of them arbitrarily.
When the median has two numbers, you add the two together and divide by 2 . The median doesn't really have 'two numbers'; you are talking about finding the median of a set of numbers that contains an even number of numbers. The median is half-way between the two.
The median is the middle number. To find the median, you need to put all of the numbers in order. The one in the middle is the median. If there are two middle numbers, you divide the bigger number by the smaller number.
Write the numbers of a set in ascending order. If there is an odd number of numbers, the median is the one in the middle. If there is an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the middle two.
Put the numbers in order. The odd one in the middle is the median: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (4 is the median). If even numbers, it is between the two middle numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (between 4 and 5 is the median).
There is only one median in a set of values. If it is an odd amount of values, the median is the middle number. If there is an even amount of numbers, the median is the value halfway between the two middle numbers. So, in 1, 2, 3; the median is 2. In 1, 2, 3, 4; the median is 2.5, as that is halfway between 2 and 3.
