Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

What are your values given? I will answer as a reply or edit.

The median is basically the middle number, so lets say we have values

4,3,7,5,8,6,2,1

we rearrange them to be in order of increasing value:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

The median then is the middle number, and if there is an even number of values, you need to take the mean of both.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (4 and 5 are both the median, but that is not the answer)

To find the answer, we need to add 4 and 5 and divide by 2

(4+5)/2 = 9/2

= 4.5

Thus, the median of these numbers is 4.5
