Answer:

Just find the exact middle number. For a data set with an even amount of numbers, you just take the two middle numbers and average them. To find the average, you add the two numbers together and divide by 2.

Explanation:

For example

3,8,5,6,5,6,5,7,8,4,9

put these numbers in an ascending order if its not in order.

3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7,8,8,9
now find the middle number, one by one from each side going to the center

6

the answer is 6

if there were 2 numbers in the middle, you add and divide by 2
