This document provides two examples of calculating the median of data sets. The first example calculates the median of an odd data set of 5 numbers by arranging them in order and taking the middle number. The second example calculates the median of an even data set of 6 numbers by arranging them in order, taking the average of the two middle numbers.

There are 5 elements or numbers in the distribution.
Step 2: Arrange the numbers in ascending order.
1,2,4,5,7
Step 3: The total elements in the distribution (5) is odd.
The middle position can be calculated using the formula. (n+1)/2 So the middle position is (5+1)/2 = 6/2 = 3 The number at 3rd position is = Median = 4
Example 2: To find the median of 4,5,7,2,1,8 [Even]
Step 1: Count the total numbers given. There are 6 elements or numbers in the distribution.
Step 2: Arrange the numbers in ascending order.
1,2,4,5,7,8
Step 3: The total elements in the distribution (6) is even.
As the total is even, we have to take average of number at n/2 and (n/2)+1 So the position are n/2= 6/2 = 3 and 4 The number at 3rd and 4th position are 4,5
