MEDIAN :

the number in the middle

      40, 49, 27, 12, 25, 68, 30

Write numbers in rank order:

      12, 25, 27, 30, 40, 49, 68

Find the score in the middle:

      12, 25, 27 __ 30 __ 40, 49, 68

      Median = 30

What if even number of numbers in sequence?

      12, 25, 27, 30, 40, 49

Mid point is half way between 27 and 30
30 - 27 = 3 	 --> 3 / 2 = 1.5 

--> 27 + 1.5 = 28.5 	 Median = 28.5
