A department store manager has monitored the number of complaints received per week about poor service. The probabilities for numbers of complaints in a week, established by this review, are shown in the table. Number of complaints 0 1 2 3 4 5 Probability 0.16 0.26 0.35 0.10 0.08 0.05 What is the median of complaints received per week? Please round your answer to the nearest integer.

0.16 | 0.26 | 0.35 | 0.10 | 0.08 | 0.05 |
Add all the probability values from left to the right until you end up getting probability greater than or equal to 0.5. (i.e. 0.16+0.26+0.35= 0.77).
Similarly, Add all the probability values from right to the left until you end up getting probability greater than or equal to 0.5. (0.05+0.08+0.10+0.35=0.58).
