The answer is 7.

Answer 2

The median of the list is 7.

Explanation:

Given : List of numbers 5,10,13,7,5.

To find : What is the median of this list of numbers ?

Solution :

Median is defined as the middle term of the list.

First we arrange data in ascending order,

5, 5, 7, 10, 13.

There are odd numbers i.e. 5

Then the median is
`((n+1)/(2))^(th)` term

i.e.
`((5+1)/(2))^(th)=3^(rd)` term

The 3rd term is 7.

Therefore, The median of the list is 7.
