Solve for Median - To Equation (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on the steps and methods to determine the median of a set of numbers. Each problem presents a list of integers and asks to select the correct formula or representation to accurately find the median. The questions at various points also subtly introduce the understanding of sorting numbers and distinguishing between possible erroneous calculations like averaging the numbers instead of finding the median. The problems are designed to encourage practice in arranging data in order and identifying middle values, foundational skills in the study of statistics within the broader topic of mean, median, and mode.
