[00:00:01]Hi everyone. Let's see what is a median.

[00:00:03]The median is the middle value of the data set when the numbers are arranged in order. How to find the median? For finding the median, first of all, we will find arrange the numbers in the ascending order.

[00:00:17]If there is odd number, the center number is the median, and if we have even numbers, we will find the average of the center numbers. Let's see the examples. Here we have 1 2 3 4 and 5 numbers, and this is odd number of data set. First of all, arrange them in order: 4 7 8 9 and 12. Now, what number is in the center? Eight. So, eight is the median.

[00:00:43]In example two, we have 2 5 7 10 12 and 14. Arrange them in the center. In the center, we have two values, 7 and 10. 7 + 10 is 17. 17 / 2 gives you 8.5. So, 8.5 is the median.
