Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

First, we need to list out all the data points in order from least to greatest:

1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10

Since there are 11 data points, the middle value will be the sixth data point:

1, 1, 2, 2, 3, **4**, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10

Therefore, the median number of pairs of shoes owned by the 6th graders surveyed is 4.
