$\begin{gathered} \text{Given data: }(3,7,8,2,4,11,7,5,9,6) \\ \text{ Rearrange data either from lowest to highest or vice versa, in this case, we use highest to lowest} \\ (2,3,4,5,6,7,7,8,9,11) \\ \text{ Find out the middle values of the data} \\ \text{ we find out that there are two middle values in the data,} \\ \text{namely, 6 and 7, we add them and divide by two} \\ (6+7)/(2)=(13)/(2)=6.5 \\ \text{Median }\bar{x}=6.5 \end{gathered}$
