To get the median of a set, simply arrange the numbers or elements in either ascending order or descending order then get the middle number. If there are two middle numbers, add them together and divide by two. The quotient is the median.
36, 38, 28, 30, 26 and 25
{25, 26, 28, 30, 36, 38}
The two middle numbers are 28 and 30.
28 + 30 = 58
58/2 = 29
The median is 29.
