Explanation:

Step1: Arrange data in ascending order

$4, 35, 55.81, 57.21, 77.01, 82$

Step2: Determine the middle value

Since there are 6 data - points (an even number of data - points), the median is the average of the two middle values. The two middle values are the 3rd and 4th values when the data is ordered.
Median=$\frac{55.81 + 57.21}{2}$

Step3: Calculate the median

Median=$\frac{113.02}{2}=56.51$

Answer:

$56.51$
