Arrange the numbers in increasing order.
Find the middle number in the sequence of increasing numbers.
That's the median.

If there are an odd number of values (such as 31), then it's easy to find the middle number (it's the 16th one, since there are 15 lower numbers and 15 higher numbers).

If there are an even number of values (such as 30), then find the TWO middle numbers (the 15th and 16th numbers in this case, with 14 lower and 14 higher). The median is the AVERAGE of these two middle numbers (i.e., add them up and divide by 2).

The median is the middle value if you put them in order. Since you have ten per line (an even number), you have to take the mean of the middle two. Find the middle two and average them.

First set: (0.11 + 0.12)/2 = ___
Second set (0.18 + 0.18)/2 = ___
Third set (0.18 + 0.19)/2 = ___
Fourth set (0.16 + 0.16)/2 = ___

You went to a lot of effort to type all these in. It's really not too hard, so be sure you learn how.

put the numbers in order from least to greatest
then take 1 form the begining and one from the end and cross it out until the only number left is the middle one and that is the median

First you need to put them in order from smallest to largest. The first set goes like this:
0.11,0.12,0.18,0.21,0.21,0.21
Then take the two numbers in the middle which are 0.21 and 0.21. Add them and divide by two, which gives you the same answer (in this case). Get the gist? You can do it too. Very easy.
