Find the median in the given list of numbers.
9, 2, 7, 4, 1, 6, 8
The median of the given list of numbers (9, 2, 7, 4, 1, 6, 8) is 6.

To find the median, you must first arrange the list of numbers in ascending order:  (1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9).
Since the given list of numbers contains an odd number of elements (7), the median is the middle element, which in this case is the 4th element (6).
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
