The median is 3 and the weighted median is the element corresponding to the weight 0.3, which is 4. The weights on each side of the pivot add up to 0.45 and 0.25, satisfying the general condition that each side be as even as possible. Any other weight would result in a greater difference between each side of the pivot.
