First sort the numbers into ascending order (from least to greatest):
85,88,91,94,95,98

To find the median, count off about 3 spaces (just take half of the size of the list, which is 6) from the beginning of the list until you hit the middle. Now count count off about 3 spaces from the end of the list until you hit the middle.

85, 88, , , 95, 98

Since the middle is in between the numbers 91 and 94, add them up and divide that sum by 2.

So the median is 92.5
