REVIEW

Median is the middle number when ordered from least to greatest.

Let's order the numbers.

`1.9, 3.4, 4.05,4.7,6.5,7.6`

There are 2 middle numbers: 4.05 and 4.7

First add the 2 numbers

`4.05 + 4.7 = 8.75`

Now divide by 2

`8.75 / 2 = 4.375`

The median is 4.375

`4.375 \\eq 4.05`

That means your answer is false
