The median is when you put all of the numbers in the question in least to greatest, then find the one in the middle. If you are left with two numbers, add both together and divide that by two.
Glad to help!
If you list your numbers in order, the median is the number in the middle of the list. If there is an even amount of numbers, the median is the value of the number that is half way between the two middle numbers. So if the two middle numbers were 16 and 21, the value half way between them would be 18.5 and that is your median.

Who invented the mathematical median?
It is not known who invented the mathematical median. Medians are the middle value of a list from smallest to largest.
What is the median in mathematical terms?
median is used to refer to the middle number in a group.
Is the central trendency measured in Mean or Median?
Both are measures of central tendency. But, the mean has mathematical properties that are better understood.
What is the difference between the median and the midpoint?
Ah, the median and the midpoint are both ways to find the middle of a set of numbers, but they are calculated differently. The median is the middle number when the numbers are ordered from least to greatest, while the midpoint is the exact middle point between two endpoints. Both are beautiful ways to find balance and harmony in our mathematical landscapes.
What is an ouutlier effect on the median?
An outlier pulls the median towards it. For example 1,2,3 Median=2 1,2,3,7 Median=2.5
