Scroll down a bit and read what "median" means -- look at the example.
Post what you come up with.

To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to arrange the numbers in numerical order, from smallest to largest. Once the numbers are in order, you can determine the median based on the position of the numbers.
In this case, the given numbers are:
74, 85, 85, 89, 90, 93
First, let's rearrange the numbers in numerical order:
74, 85, 85, 89, 90, 93
Now, we can identify the median. The median is the middle value when the numbers are listed in order. Since there are six numbers in this case, there is no exact middle number. Instead, we need to find the average of the two middle values.
The middle two numbers are 85 and 89. To find their average, add them together and divide the sum by 2:
(85 + 89) / 2 = 174 / 2 = 87
Therefore, the median of the given numbers is 87.
