To find the median of the numbers 8, 5, 8, 6, 6, and 9, you first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:
5, 6, 6, 8, 8, 9
Since there are 6 numbers (an even count), the median will be the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers in this ordered list are the 3rd and 4th numbers:
3rd number: 6
4th number: 8
Now, calculate the average of these two:
\[
\text{Median} = \frac{6 + 8}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7
\]
Therefore, the median is **7**.
