The median is when you line up the numbers from least to greatest and find the middle number:
8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 12
Since there is an even number of numbers, we take the two middle numbers and find the mean of them: (9 + 9)/2 = 9.
So, the median is 9.
The mean is when you add all the numbers up and divide that by the number of numbers:
(8 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 12)/6 = 56/6 which is about 9.3.
The median is 9 minutes, and the mean is about 9.3 minutes.
