what is the median

the median is the value in the middle.

if you got 1,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,9 then 5 is your median because it is in the middle.

What if you got 5,9,3,11,2,8,4,6?

then you sort the values from smallest to largest: 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,11. the value in the middle is the median.

in this scenario we got two numbers in the middle so in this case the median is the average of the two values in the middle (5+6)/2 =13/2=6,5
