What happens if you have a stem and leaf plot and they ask you 4 the median?

The value of the stem and leaf plot is that you can recreate the entire data set sorted from lowest to highest. Number your sorted data 1, 2, 3, ... n. If the number in your dataset is odd, then
Median = value occurring at n/2 + 1/2 (middle number in your data set)
If your number is even, then the median = (value at n/2 + value at n/2+1)/2
Example:
Stem and leaf plot
0/ 1 5 8 9
1/ 9
5/ 5
Data set 1, 5, 8, 9, 19, 55
Median = (8+9)/2 = 8.5
