Solution

Number of seats = 23
The median refers to the middle value.

23 is an odd number, and for an odd number, the middle value can be found using the formula:
$\frac{n + 1}{2}$ ,
where n = Total number of seats

Total number of seats, n = 23

Thus,
$Median = \frac{23 + 1}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12$

So, Zianna is sitting in the $12^{t h}$ seat.
