The Median of a set of numbers is the Middle number of the set. To find this, you will need to arrange the numbers in sequence (smallest-to-largest or vice versa). Now, if you have an odd numnber of numbers, then there will be only one middle number. But, if you have an even number of numbers, then there will be two middle numbers.
To find the median in this case, you add the two middle numbers together and divide by 2 (you are really finding the average or mean of these two numbers) and this will be the median.
