The data that represent the number of flying saucers that are owned by each alien on planet nowhere is given below:


1,4,2,21,8,27

(a)We sort the data from the least to greatest below.


1,2,4,8,21,27

(b)The median is the middle number.

In this case, we have two numbers in the middle: 4 and 8

Therefore we find their average:


\begin{gathered} \text{Median}=(4+8)/(2) \\ =(12)/(2) \\ =6 \end{gathered}
