For number of terms, the median is the middle term, which in a upto terms, is .
so, for sequence , , , ......, , the median is

If you meant to say the sequence is

then let's consider a few small examples

Each term underlined is the median of the respective set.

The first example shows n = 2 leads to n+1 = 3 terms, in which is the median.
The second example shows n = 4 leads to n+1 = 5 terms, in which is the median.
The third example shows n = 6 leads to n+1 = 7 terms, in which is the median.

Hopefully you're able to spot the pattern, which will allow to find the median of the original set (when n is any positive even integer).
