MEDIAN is the midlle number among many numbers you have
for example
if your marks in 5 months are : 9 , 12 , 14 , 10 , 11
to find the median arange the marks 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 14
then the median is 11
but if your marks in 6 months are 15 , 20 , 13 , 16 , 17 , 10
araange : 10 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 20
then the median is ( 15 + 16 ) / 2 = 15.5

As others have answered, it is the middle number in a set of numbers. But what if there is only an even set of numbers? Then you get the middle two numbers, you add them, then you divide by two and that would give you the median in an even set of numbers.
Example: 1,2,3,4.
Get "2" and "3", you add them together wich gives you "5". Now divide "5" by "2". Which would give you "2.5", this would be your median.

The median is the middle number in a set of data when the numbers are placed in order of size.
If the number of numbers are even, then you would find the middle of these two by adding them together and dividing by two =]
I hope that helped !

It's what everyone else said but remember to put all of the numbers in order first
For example, a set of [5,4,8,9,2,1] would become
[1,2,4,5,8,9] so 4.5 would be the median.

middle number/value of a list. If the median home value in your area is $200,000, then half the homes are worth more and half are worth less.
As opposed to the Mean, which is the numerical average, obtained by adding all values and dividing by number of parts.
