To find the median, we need to first arrange the data in order from least to greatest:
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 10
There are 12 data points, so the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th data points:
(4 + 5)/2 = 4.5
Therefore, the median number of pairs of shoes owned by the 6th graders Michael surveyed is 4.5 pairs of shoes.
