the median

[barbie jacey]

if you are finding the median of some numeric data, and lets say theres 10 asending numbers, do you the add the two middle numbers and divide them by 2?
e.g
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
do you then add 5 and 6 and then divide them by two???
thanks
sorry - easy question i no however i learnt it SO long ago!

The Median
The Median is the 'middle value' in your list. When the totals of the list are odd, the median is the middle entry in the list after sorting the list into increasing order. When the totals of the list are even, the median is equal to the sum of the two middle (after sorting the list into increasing order) numbers divided by two. Thus, remember to line up your values, the middle number is the median! Be sure to remember the odd and even rule.
