The median will not change. The median is the middle value and it will be unchanged when the smallest and largest data values are removed.

2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11median is 62, \ 3, \ 5, \ {\color{#c34632}{6}}, \ 8, \ 10, \ 11\rightarrow \text{median is} \ 6

3, 5, 6, 8, 10median is 63, \ 5, \ {\color{#c34632}{6}}, \ 8, \ 10\rightarrow \text{median is} \ 6
