Answer
Answer
Thus, the median number of birds to visit the feeder is \(\boxed{44.5}\).
Step 1 ：The given numbers are 44, 15, 25, 5, 45, 97, 64, 65.
Step 2 ：To find the median, we first need to sort the numbers in ascending order.
Step 3 ：The sorted list of numbers is 5, 15, 25, 44, 45, 64, 65, 97.
Step 4 ：Since we have an even number of observations (8), we need to find the average of the 4th and 5th numbers in the sorted list.
Step 5 ：The 4th and 5th numbers in the sorted list are 44 and 45.
Step 6 ：The average of 44 and 45 is \( \frac{44 + 45}{2} = 44.5 \).
Step 7 ：Thus, the median number of birds to visit the feeder is \(\boxed{44.5}\).
