What is the median of 6 7 10 8 9 8?

Answer 1

So the median of a set of numbers, is the number which is exactly in the middle of all the numbers when sorted.

So take your set of numbers, {6,7,10,8,9,8} and sort them so we get {6,7,8,8,9,10}

If we work in from the left and right removing one number at a time we get:

{7, 8, 8, 9}

and then {8, 8}

Meaning the median is 8. (When you have an even amount of numbers, you have to average the two numbers remaing (in this case 8 and 8), however when you have an odd amount of numbers you will only have 1 left, and that is the median)
