REVIEW

Median is the middle number when ordered from least to greatest.

Let's order the numbers.

$1.9, 3.4, 4.05,4.7,6.5,7.6$

There are 2 middle numbers: 4.05 and 4.7

First add the 2 numbers

$4.05 + 4.7 = 8.75$

Now divide by 2

$8.75 \div 2 = 4.375$

The median is 4.375

$4.375 \neq 4.05$

That means your answer is false
