\begin{gathered} 4,5,5,8,8,8,9,12,13 \\ \operatorname{median}\colon8 \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

graph the point is a numerical line

now, to order from the least fo greatest, write the numbers from left to rigth


4,5,5,8,8,8,9,12,13

Step 2

now, The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average.

so

Count how many numbers you have


\begin{gathered} 4,5,5,8,8,8,9,12,13=9\text{ numbers} \\ \end{gathered}

weI get an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number


\begin{gathered} (9)/(2)=4.5 \\ \text{rounded up} \\ 4.5=5 \end{gathered}

so, the median is the number in poition (5)


4,5,5,8,(8),8,9,12,13
\operatorname{median}\colon8

i hope this helps you.
