it's 6.
you should be looking for the element in 18th position.
there are nine 1s, four 2s etc..so on 18th position you have 6.

Here is how this can be solved

median = middle value in case of odd number set & avg. of two middle values in case of even number set.

total number of values = 9+4+1+2+1+8+9 = 34

We have to find the value of 18th value.

9 values of 1
4 values of 2
1 value of 3
2 values of 4
1 value of 5
8 value of 6

9+4+1+2+1 = 17, therefore the next value will be the median

median = 6
