To find the median of a set of numbers write them in order, then:
* if there are an odd number of numbers then the median is the number in the middle
* otherwise there are an even number of numbers and the median is the mean average of the two numbers in the middle.
With 4 numbers there is an even number of numbers, so the median is the mean average of the 2nd and 3rd numbers when they are sorted into order.
Example: Find median of {3, 9, 4, 5}
Ordered → {3, 4, 5, 9}
→ median = mean_average(4, 5) = (4 + 5) ÷ 2 = 4.5

How do I calculate the median in a set of numbers?
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).
What is the median numbers for numbers 4 8 10 5 9?
The median is 8.
How do you find the median of 4 numbers?
take the 2 middle numbers, add them together, then divide by 2 and that number is your median.
What 6 numbers with a range of 2 and a median of 4?
To find six numbers with a range of 2 and a median of 4, we can start by placing the median 4 in the middle. Since the range is 2, the numbers on either side of the median will be 2 and 6. This leaves us with the numbers 2, 4, 4, 4, 6, and 6. These six numbers have a range of 2 and a median of 4.
What is the median of 4 and 8?
The median is the middle value when a set of numbers is arranged in ascending or descending order. In this case, the numbers 4 and 8 are already in ascending order. Since there are only two numbers, the median is the average of the two middle numbers, which is (4 + 8) / 2 = 6.
