1. **State the problem:** We need to find the median number of times customers ate ice cream last month based on the given data. 2. **List the data points:** - 0 times eaten: 3 customers - 1 time eaten: 3 customers - 2 times eaten: 4 customers - 3 times eaten: 1 customer - 4, 5, 6 times eaten: 0 customers 3. **Calculate the total number of customers:** $$3 + 3 + 4 + 1 = 11$$ 4. **Find the median position:** Since there are 11 data points (an odd number), the median is the value at position $$\frac{11 + 1}{2} = 6$$ when the data is ordered. 5. **Order the data points:** - Positions 1 to 3: 0 times eaten - Positions 4 to 6: 1 time eaten - Positions 7 to 10: 2 times eaten - Position 11: 3 times eaten 6. **Identify the median value:** The 6th data point corresponds to 1 time eaten. **Final answer:** The median number of times customers ate ice cream last month is **1**. (Note: The options given do not include 1, so the closest correct median based on the data is 1.)
