Solves Median of a Dataset

The median is the middle number in a list of numbers when they are arranged in order. If there are an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

Example

Let’s say we have a list of numbers: 4, 7, 2, 9, 5, 1, 6

Step 1: Arrange the numbers in order: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9

Step 2: Since there are 7 numbers, the median is the 4th number in the list, which is 5

Simpler explanation

Imagine you have 7 friends standing in a line from shortest to tallest.

The friend who stands in the middle is the median height.

If there are two friends in the middle, you can add up their heights and divide by 2 to find the median height.
