if you are trying to find the median and there is two middle numbers, you add the two Numbers together and divide is by two.
If the two numbers are that same in the middle than the median is that number.However if the two numbers are different then you just find the average of those two numbers.
when you have an even amount of numbers while trying to find the median, you first find the two numbers that are at the median and then take all the numbers between them and find the median of that. if that amount of digits is also even, then you must have a decimal median.
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).
If this is even set of number median is found by taking the average of two middle numbers.
