Explanation

The value of the middle-most observation is called the median of the data.

First, arrange the given numbers in ascending order

1, 3, 6, 8, 9  

n= 5 which is an odd number

Where n is the number of the given number.

median = value of 1/2 (n+1)^th observation

= 1/2 (5+1)

= 1/2 (6)

= 6/2

= 3
