A paradox occurs in the space-time continuum and the universe ceases to exist ;) But seriously, what you probably REALLY mean is how do you find the median of a list of numbers with an even number of numbers. When you have an even number of numbers, you take the average of the two middle numbers. So for example: 1, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20 The two middle numbers are 8 and 10. The average of 8 and 10 is 9, so the median of the above example is 9.
1, 6, and 11
Whatever you like. The median value for each of the following three sets is 10. For the set {1, 9, 11, 12}. the mean is 8.25, smaller than the median. For the set {1, 9, 15, 15}. the mean is 10, the same as the median. For the set {1, 9, 15, 16}. the mean is 10.25, larger than the median.
The middle two numbers are 8 and 10 so the median is 9.
1, 4, 10
The median is 8.

5.5 is the median when your two numbers are 1 and 10. There are two ways of getting it. Add both numbers and divide by 2 or find the number half way between the two.

The middle two numbers are 8 and 10 so the median is 9.
The median numbers are 1 and 0. This is because there is no middle number.
1, 4, 10
8
To work out the median, we firstly rearrange these numbers into numerical order: 3 6 9 10 The middle number is the median. However, in this example, there is no middle number, so we take the mean of 6 and 9 (mean: (6+9)/2=7.5). So the median is 7.5
