The fact that two of the four numbers are identical in no way changes the way you would find the median.

When finding the median of a set of data, you must sort the data from highest to lowest (or lowest to highest). The data point right smack in the middle is the median. If there is an even number of data points -- as is the case here -- you must take the average of the two points in the middle.

Let's say these are your data: 10, 10, 6, 3. The median is the average of 10 and 6, or 8.

If your data is 10, 6, 6, 3, then the median is 6.

If it's 10, 6, 3, 3, the median is 4.5 (the average of 6 and 3).

How to find the missing number if median is given?

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.

The mean is when you add all the numbers together and divide by how many numbers there are, and yes zero does count.

If there is you find the middle of those two numbers.

You find the median by arranging the numbers from least to greatest, this set being 24,25,28,30,32,35,35. Then, you find the number that's in the middle, this one being 30. If there's an even number of numbers, you would add up the two numbers in the middle and divide the sum by two. The median is 30.
