Answer 2

6.7

Explanation:

The median of a data set is the "middle" number in it. To find it, we can cross the first data then the last data and make a pattern of it until we get to the last one or two data points.

However, we first have to rearrange them into order:

• 4.7, 5.1, 5.7, 6.4, 6.7, 7.9, 8, 8.7, 9.6

Now, we take the numbers out.

• 5.1, 5.7, 6.4, 6.7, 7.9, 8, 8.7
• 5.7, 6.4, 6.7, 7.9, 8
• 6.4, 6.7, 7.9
• 6.7

Therefore, the median is 6.7.
