we know that
To find the median, we arrange the observations in order from smallest to largest value. If there is an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value. If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values.
we have
10, 16, 6, 11, 6, 9.3, 12, 10, 9,8
step 1
arrange the observations in order from smallest to largest value
so
3,6,6,8,9,9,10,10,11,12,16
step 2
Find the middle value
3,6,6,8,9, 9, 10,10,11,12,16
therefore
the answer is 9
