private void calcButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    medianList.Clear();
    ListBox2.Items.Clear();

    if (sourceList.Count == 0)
    {
        double tInt;
        foreach (string item in ListBox1.Items)
        {
            if (double.TryParse(item, out tInt) == true)
                sourceList.Add(tInt);
        }
    }

    if (ListBox1.Items.Count > 0)
    {
        if (RadioButton1.Checked)

Well, isn't the error message meaningful?

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32' to type 'System.String'

foreach (string item in ListBox1.Items)

So you have added integers to the ListBox1. Then this fixes it:

foreach (int tInt in ListBox1.Items)
    sourceList.Add(tInt);
