The following data represents the number of pages read by a student in a month: 2, 4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 5, 3, 4, 5, 7, 4. Find the median.

Step-by-step solution

1. Sort the data: $2,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,7$.
2. Count the data points: $12$.
3. Since $12$ is even, median is average of 6th and 7th values.
4. 6th value = $4$, 7th value = $4$.
5. Median = $\frac{4+4}{2}=4$.
