                       And m2 = (     +1) term
                                     
                       For example:


                       Find the median of 6, 9, and 7,3,2,4

                       Solution:


                       By arranging the data in ascending order we get,

                       2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9

                               
                       m1 =               ( where n = number of observation)
                               

                               
                                            rd
                       m1 =                 = 3  term = 4
                               
                                
                       m2 = (     +1) term
                                
                                               th
                       m2 = (3 + 1)th term = 4  term = 6

                       Median =    +    =5
