Median is the number that is in the center of a distribution.
First, organize the numbers from least to greatest.
2 4 5 9 18 19 43
Then find the number that is in the center. In this case, the median is 9 because there are 3 quantities on both the left and the right.
If you have an even number of data, average the two numbers in the center.
2 6 7 8 10 18 19 25
The median is 9 because 8 and 10 split center. Average 8 and 10 to get 9.

Arrange the numbers from smallest to greatest. The mean of the middle two numbers is the median.
All sets of 3 consecutive numbers will have the same mean and median
the median and mode are but the mean is not
It is then the [arithmetic] mean of the two number. The sam applies if you have 6 numbers. The median is the mean of the 3rd and 4th numbers (in order).
The median is the middle number when the numbers are listed in order; if there is an even number of numbers, the median is the mean of the middle two. 35,380 - two numbers - two is even, therefore median is the mean of the middle two, ie the mean of 35 and 380: median = (35 + 380) ÷ 2 = 207.5
