Answer:

4

Explanation:

No, It is not what's in the middle of the numbers, silly. It's the quantity of the 1 single number in the row of numbers.

4 has 2
6 has 1
9 has 1
8 has 1
3 has 1
7 has 1
2 has 1
18 has 1

You get the point? 4 has 2 4s.

Answer:

The median is 6

Explanation:

Median is simply the middle number in a data set (in terms of value)

To find the median we list the numbers in order from greatest to least and then go to the middle number

Given data set: 4 6 9 8 3 7 4 2 18

Data set in order from greatest to least: 2 3 4 4 6 7 8 9 18

We then go the middle number which is 6

The median is 6
