$1.7$ , $4.9$ , $6.2$ , $7.9$ , $7.9$ , $4.7$ , $2.7$ , $4.7$

Step 1

Arrange the terms in ascending order.

$1.7, 2.7, 4.7, 4.7, 4.9, 6.2, 7.9, 7.9$

Step 2

The median is the middle term in the arranged data set. In the case of an even number of terms, the median is the average of the two middle terms.

$\frac{4.7 + 4.9}{2}$
