The answer is 35 because if u order them from least to greatest and have the same amount of numbers crossed out on both sides u get 30 and 40 so u add those together and whatever the sum is u divide it by 2

Answer:

35

Explanation:

Organize the data from least to greatest

17, 23, 30, 40, 44, 44

Move to the middle

which is 30 and 40

Add 30 and 40 which is 70

divide 70 by 2 which is 35

So the median is 35

Hope this helps!
