The median of five numbers (an odd number) is the number in the middle when they are arranged in ascending order.
Assume both statements. The orderings
are all consistent with both statements. But in the first scenario, 
Example Question #21 : Median
What do you need to know in order to determine the median of a data set with one hundred elements?
Both the highest and lowest elements
The fiftieth-highest element
The fiftieth-lowest element
Both the fiftieth-highest and fiftieth-lowest elements
All one hundred elements
Both the fiftieth-highest and fiftieth-lowest elements
The median of a dataset with an even number of elements is the arithmetic mean of the two elements that fall in the middle when the elements are arranged in ascending order. Since there are 100 elements and
