Median:
If data set has odd number of observations, median is the middle observation of sorted data.
If data has even number of observations, median is the average of two middle entries of sorted data.
Our sorted data is:
3,5,6,8,11,15
Since our data has 6 (even) number of entries,
M e d i a n = 3 r d + 4 t h 2 = 6 + 8 2 = 7
