To find the median of the numbers, we first need to arrange them in ascending order. The numbers are:
3, 10, 7, 8, 9, 2, 7
Arranging these in order gives:
2, 3, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10
Since there are 7 numbers (an odd count), the median will be the middle number. The middle position can be found using the formula \((n + 1) / 2\), where \(n\) is the number of values.
Here, \(n = 7\):
\[
(7 + 1) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4
\]
The 4th number in the ordered list is:
2, 3, **7**, 7, 8, 9, 10
Thus, the median is **7**.
