What is the median of the data set represented by the dot plot? enter the answer in the box.

The median is the middle number of a sequence of numbers listed from least to greatest.
I will list the numbers from least to greatest to make things easier.
3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8. (There is no 7, so 7 cannot be placed in).
To determine the median, cross out the smallest number and the largest number until you can no longer do so.
3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8.
4, 5, 5, 6
5, 5.
It seems we cannot cross out 5 and 5. So, we average the 2 numbers.
5 + 5 = 10, 10/2 = 5.
5 is your median.
