If its a odd set of numbers then the median will be (n+1/2)th term.
where,
n=set of numbers like
2,4,5 then the median will be (3+1/2)th term=2nd term=4.
therefore the median is 4
And if its a even set of numbers like
1,4,7,9,6,8 then the median will be the (sum of mid numbers/2)
7+9/2=8
therefore the median is 8

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
The mean and the median are both involved with a set of numbers. The mean refers to the average of the numbers. The median refers to the middle number of the numbers
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.
When the median has two numbers, you add the two together and divide by 2 . The median doesn't really have 'two numbers'; you are talking about finding the median of a set of numbers that contains an even number of numbers. The median is half-way between the two.
One set of numbers for which this is true is {8}.
