For an ordered data set with an odd number of values,
the median is the middle value.

For an ordered set with an even number of values,
the median is the average of the two middle values.

How many numbers are there?

doc.brown · Answer

You want the median number (number in the middle).  In the case in which there are 2 numbers in the middle, find the mean of the two numbers (average).

@math_genius123 do you think you might know the answer??????????

anonymous · Answer

The calculator uses two different formulas for calculating the median, depending on whether the number of observations is odd, or it is even:

When the number of observations is odd the formula is:

$$x _{m}=x _{n+1}/2$$

When the number of observations is even the formula is:

$$x_{m}=(x _{n/2}+x _{n+2/2})/2$$

where n is the number of observations.

As I was saying when OS took yet another dirt nap, 

Put your numbers in ascending order (you've already got this)
Count how many numbers you have
If you have an odd number of numbers, take the middle one as your median,
If you have an even number of numbers, take the middle two, add them together and divide by two. The result is your median.  It really isn't that complicated to do, and 9 year old kids in California are expected to learn how to do it...
