To find the median of a data set, you need to arrange the data in order from smallest to largest and then locate the middle value. If the data set has an odd number of values, the median is the middle value. If the data set has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.

For the given data set: 10, 7, 1, 8, 1, 6,

1. Arrange the data in order: 1, 1, 6, 7, 8, 10.
2. Since there are six values in the data set (an even number), we need to find the average of the two middle values.
3. The two middle values are 6 and 7. Add them together and divide by 2 to get the median.
(6 + 7) / 2 = 13 / 2 = 6.5

Therefore, the median of the given data set is 6.5. It seems you made an error in your answer of 7.
