Arrange the terms in ascending order.

$3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17$

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.

$\frac{9 + 11}{2}$

Step 3

Remove parentheses.

$\frac{9 + 11}{2}$

Step 4
