Let’s say I have a set of numbers 1,8,2,9,1,8,8
The average (mean) is (1+8+2+9+1+8+8)/7 = about 5.29
The median is found by arranging the numbers in order and picking the middle one. So 1,1,2,8,8,8,9 and the middle number (median) is 8
If you had an even number of numbers in the set, I believe the median is the average of the two middle-est numbers
So for 1,1,1,1,5,5,6,6 I believethe median is (1+5)/2 = 3
