ExplanationArrange the 11 numbers given in order, from least to greatest: 8, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12We still have to add y, but what is the median of this list?
| Value of y | List | Value of Median |
| 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 | y, 8, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12 | 10 |
| 9 | 8, 8, 8, 8, y, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12 | 10 |
| 10 | 8, 8, 8, 8, y, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12 | 10 |
| 12, 13, ... | 8, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12, y | 10 |
Hence irrespective of the value of y we have Median is 10.
