Answer 1

The answer to your question is, 2 meters.

Explanation:

We know that a median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending list of numbers.

How to caluclate it:

Collected date: 1, 4, 6, 2, 4, 3, 2/3, 1/3, 1/2

Rearreange the date in accending order:

1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6

Next we should always pick the middle of the number in the arranged data..:

Media would = 2 meters

Thus, your answer is, 2 meters
