So

as a mixed number is

.(b) To find the median of the list of numbers (-3, 6, -5, 4, 4, 0), first we need to sort the numbers in numerical order:

There is an even number of numbers in the list, so we find the mean of the two middle numbers as follows:

In conclusion, (a) The improper fraction

is equivalent to the mixed number

and(b) The median of the set of numbers is 2.
