You can find the median of six numbers (which is an even amount of numbers) by:
1. Putting the numbers in order (ex. 4,9,15,17,19,25)
2. Then, find the middle values of the numbers (from the ex. above, the middle values are 15 and 17)
3. You add the two middle numbers together and divide by two. (for ex. 15+17=32... then 32/2=16)
4. After you add the two middle values and divide them by two, then you will have the answer to the problem. (sometimes you can do it easily by just finding the middle value of the two middle numbers... for ex. the middle value of 15 and 17 is 16)
Hope this answer helps?? :)

to find the median in a set of numbers you have to order them from the smallest to the largest and find the middle value e.g. 2,4,3,7,1 1,2,3,4,7 the median is 3
You add the two numbers in the middle of your range and then you divide them by two, or just find the number that is halfway between the two numbers, and you then have your median.
If there are 2 numbers as the median, you find the mean of those 2 numbers. (add both numbers and divide by 2)
all you have to do is find the two middle numbers, add them u, and divide by two. the answer is the median. You line the numbers up in order of lowest to highest: 1 2 3 4 5 6 To work out the median you find out the average/mean of the middle 2 numbers: 3 4 (3+4)/2 = 3.5 Therefore the median is 3.5 Or you could just work out the middle number e.g 3 and 4 the middle would 3.5
To find the median of a set of values with an even number of values, place the values in ascending or descending order, find the 2 middle numbers and add them together and divide that total by 2 and that's the median.
