A variate takes $11$ values which are arranged in ascending order of their magnitudes It is found that $4$th, $6$th and $8$th observations are $8$, $6$ and $4$ respectively What is the median of the distribution?

The median of a dataset is the middlemost value when the observations are arranged in ascending order. For a variate with 11 values, the position of the median is given by the (n+1)/2 term, which is (11+1)/2 = 6. Because the 6th observation is explicitly stated to be 6, the median of the distribution is 6.
