There are 6 numbers in the list. So you will need to find the average of the 3rd and 4th value which is 2.7 and 2.8. To find the average you need to add 2.7 and 2.8 which is 5.5 and then divide by 2 which is 2.75

Answer is 2.75

Answer:


2.75

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the median


0.8, 1.0, 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 13.3

The median of a set is the middle of the set. In this instance, we have 6 numbers so we don't have a number directly in the set representing the median. Instead, we need to find the average or middle between the 3rd and 4th number. So we take 2.7 and 2.8, add them together to get 5.5 and then we divide by 2 to get 2.75 which is our median.

Answer:
2.75
