To find the new median song length, we first need to consider the original list of 9 song lengths and the bonus song of 5 seconds. When the bonus song is added, we have a total of 10 songs. To find the median with an even number of values, we take the average of the 5th and 6th values once the list is sorted. If the original song lengths are primarily longer than 5 seconds, it’s likely these two middle songs are around the existing lengths, possibly adjusting slightly with the addition of the shorter song. Sorting the list will reveal the precise middle values, and thus from that sorted arrangement, one can calculate the exact median efficiently, but it is crucial to ensure the new shorter song is considered appropriately so it doesn't skew the median outcome unexpectedly!
