Explanation:

Median - The middle number in a set a data

First, you need to list the numbers least, on the left, to greatest, on the right.

3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8

Once you have done this, you can follow these steps.

Cross off the lowest number. Cross off the highest number. Repeat until there is one or two numbers left.

3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8

4, 5, 5, 5, 6

5, 5, 5

5

Since there is one number left, that is the median. In case of there being two numbers left, you add them together. Then divide by 2 and that would be your median
