Given the data:

4, 6, 8, 3, 2, 8

Determine the median.

Solution:

In order to determine the median of the given data, we must list the given values from least to greatest first, and determine which number is in the middle.

 4, 6, 8, 3, 2, 8 

= 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 8

Since we an even number of values , we need to add the two middle numbers, then divide it by 2, to determine the median.

= 4 + 6
= 10
=10/2
= 5

Final answer:

Median = 5
