How to find a median

To find the median of a set of numbers, follow these steps:

1. Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest.

2. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle number in the list.

3. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

For example, consider the set of numbers: 3, 7, 2, 8, 5, 9, 1, 4, 6

1. Arrange the numbers in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

2. There are 9 numbers in the set, which is odd. So the median is the middle number, which is the 5th number in the list: 5

Therefore, the median of the set of numbers is 5.
