There are two ways to find the median, depending on what situation it is.
The first, is to simply arrange the number set into proper numerical format (least to greatest), then count from both sides towards the middle to find the median or middle number.
The latter, is when we have a number set that has an equal amount of numbers. For this, we would again, arrange it into proper numerical format, and the count from both sides up. However, there will be two numbers at the middle. So, what we do, is that we have to add them up and then divide by 2 since there are only those two numbers at the middle. Once, the numbers are added up and divided by 2, you will get the resulting median.
Example: Find the median of the data set below.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,9
There are 10 numbers in this data set.
It's already been arranged into proper numerical format.
So, all we have to do is, find the two middle numbers and then add them up and divide.
The two numbers at the middle are: 5 and 6.
Add them up.
5 + 6 = 11
Divide by 2.
11/2 = 5.5
Thus, the median of the data set is 5.5

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. To find the median, the data should be arranged in order from least to greatest. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.
