Ans. 4.5 Explanation: The median for an even set of numbers is (Xn+Xn+1)/2 where n = number of values in dataset divided by 2 and Xn is the nth ranked value when sorted from lowest to highest. Your ordered set is S=(0,1, 2, 3, ,...9) at least I think it is, with 10 values , X1 = 0, X2 =1, ..., so median = (4+5)/2 = 4.5. There are five numbers lower than 4.5 (0,1,2,3,4) and five numbers higher (5,6,7,8,9).

To find the Median in Math, if you have two numbers, the Median will be the middle number. If you had 1 and 10 to find the Median from, the answer would be 5. Also, if the highest number is not an even number, you use a point. Example: 1 ----- ? ----- 9 ? = 4.5. That solve your answer?
Oh, what a lovely question! To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in numerical order. So, it would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Since there are six numbers, the median would be the middle number when arranged, which in this case is 2.
1,5,7,8 or 2,3,9,40 Any number which is middle number is 6. Not the mean though. It must be the mean of the numbers either side of the number you want. If you want 4 numbers, you need the 2 and a half number. For the 5 numbers you would chose the 3rd number
The median would not change, but the mean would increase.
Technically, you cannot find a median if you have only two numbers, so it would be more reasonable to use an average instead.
