Explanation from PART66Online
The median is the middle value once the data are sorted: 11, 17, 20, 26, 28, 34, 34, 40. With eight values, the median is the average of the 4th and 5th, (26 + 28) / 2 = 27.0. The 26.25 distractor is actually the mean, not the median.

Median means 'in the middle'. Put them in order lowest to highest. Find the middle number, or middle two numbers. 26 and 28 in this case. The median is half way between these two numbers.
