Answer:

Put the values in numerical order before trying to find the median. The median is the number in the middle of an ordered set of values. The median must be calculated by finding the mean of the two middle points when there is an even number of

data points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is simply the middle number in an ordered set and is unaffected by outliers. If there are two middle points in an ordered set, then the average of the two numbers is the median.
