The median is the middle number of a set when the numbers are arranged in order from least to greatest. In this case, when arranged in order, the set becomes: 3, 5, 5, 6, 8, 10. The middle numbers are 6 and 5 (since there are two 5's), so we take the average of these two numbers: (6+5)/2 = 5.5. Therefore, the median is 5.5.
