uri · Answer

If the numbers are odd,Median is the middle one. If the numbers are even you add the both middle ones and divide by 2. @mcnabkt

sleepyjess · Answer

Can you show me what you did to get 192.5?

uri · Answer

But first like @sleepyjess said..You arrange them from ascending to descending.

i added all the numbers and divided by 2

sleepyjess · Answer

No, just 126,000 and 133,000
