Median: put all the numbers in chronological order. The median is the middle number. If it is an even set of numbers, and there are two middle numbers, average the two numbers.

Chronological Order:
3 4 5 18 19 20 21 28

Median:
18 + 19= 37
take the average of the 2 middle #s
37 ÷ 2= 18.5

Median= 18.5

Hope this helps! :)
