If they are the same numbers, it is that number
if they are 2 different numbers, the median is the average of those 2 numbers
( the number directly in the middle of the 2 numbers )

What do you do if there is 2 median?
In a odd set of numbers the middle number is the median, but if there's a even set of numbers, say 6 for example, you add the two numbers in the middle then divide them by 2 and you will end up with the middle of the two middle numbers- what a mouthful! Or another way to do it is if the two middle numbers are say 4 and 6 then obviously the number between them is 5Example: Find the median for these numbers.2,3,4,5,6,74+5=99 divided by 2=4.5Therefore the answer is 4.5
If you get more than one median what do you do?
There is only one median in a set of values. If it is an odd amount of values, the median is the middle number. If there is an even amount of numbers, the median is the value halfway between the two middle numbers. So, in 1, 2, 3; the median is 2. In 1, 2, 3, 4; the median is 2.5, as that is halfway between 2 and 3.

What is the median of 98 101?
The median average of a set of numbers is the middle number when the numbers are listed in order. If there is an even number of numbers then the median is the mean average of the middle two: There are 2 numbers, therefore the median is the mean average of the middle two, which are the 1st and the 2nd → median = (98 + 101) ÷ 2 = 99.5

How do you determin the median?
