Concept:

Median: The median is the middle number in a sorted- ascending or descending list of numbers.

Case 1: If the number of observations (n) is even

Case 2: If the number of observations (n) is odd

 

Calculation:

Given values 2, 6, 6, 8, 4, 2, 7, 9

Arrange the observations in ascending order:

2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9

Here, n = 8 = even

As we know, If n is even then,

Hence Median = 6
