To find the median of a set of numbers, follow these steps:

1. Arrange the numbers in numerical order from lowest to highest.
2. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle number.
3. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two numbers.

To find the median, you can follow these steps:

1. Arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest.
2. If you have an odd number of data points, the median is the middle number. For example, if you have the numbers 3, 7, 2, 9, 1, the middle number is 3, so the median is 3.
3. If you have an even number of data points, find the two middle numbers and calculate their average. For example, if you have the numbers 3, 7, 2, 9, the two middle numbers are 3 and 7. Calculate their average: (3 + 7) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5. So the median is 5.

Make sure to arrange the numbers in order first before finding the median.
