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.)
