5.8

Explanation:

First put all the numbers in order from least to greatest.

3, 3, 3, 3.5, 4.6, 7, 8.1, 9, 9, 12

There are two middle numbers, 4.6 and 7. Average them to get 5.8.

Answer 2

Answer: 7.3

Step-by-step explanation: The median is the middle number in the data set when the data set is written from least to greatest.

Least to greatest ⇒ 3, 3, 3.5, 4.6, 7.3, 8.1, 9, 9, 12
