You do (n + 1) / 2

'n' being the total number of scores

then that number will give you the score number that is the median.

eq- theres 20 scores

so (20+2) / 2

= 10.5

therefore the median is the number between the 10th and the 11ths scores. I think you add a cumulative frequency column to the table then and work out which score it was.

Anyone tell me if im wrong.
