The median of a set of values is the number in the mid-ordinal position of the set in ordered form.
To find the median of a set of number, first put them in order and then the median is the one in the middle. If there are 2n+1 numbers (n = integer) then the median is the n+1th number. If there are 2n, then the median is either defined as the the average of the nth and n+1th numbers.
