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!

Well, darling, if you have the median of a set of numbers, all you need to do is find the middle number in the sequence. If there is an odd number of values, the median is simply the middle number. If there is an even number, you average the two middle numbers to get the median. So, put on your thinking cap and start counting!

To find the missing number when the median is given, you first need to determine the total number of values in the data set. If the total number of values is odd, the median will be the middle value. If the total number of values is even, the median will be the average of the two middle values. Once you have identified the median, you can work backward to determine the missing number based on its position relative to the median.

The median is the middle number. If there is an odd number of numbers in the set, the median is the middle number, and the only way to find the missing number is if the median is the missing number. If there is an even number of numbers in the set, the median is the average of the two middle numbers, and the only way to find the missing number is if the median is one of those two numbers. If it is, you can take the median and the one of the two numbers you know. Use the formula (# +#)/2=median and solve.
