�6, �3, 1, 5, 9, 18

To find the mean, add up all of the numbers and divide the sum by the number of numbers (which in this case is 6).

So the mean is 4

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.
-6, -3, , , 9, 18
Since the middle is in between the numbers 1 and 5, add them up and divide that sum by 2.

So the median is 3
