Answer 1

12

Explanation:

11, 11, 13, 13, 12, 13, 11, 12, 10, 13

Put the numbers in ascending (increasing) order.

10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 13

If there is an odd number of numbers, the median is the number in the middle.

There are 10 numbers which is an even number of numbers.

For an even number of numbers, the median is the mean of te two middle numbers.

10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 13

The two middle numbers are 12 and 12.

The mean of 12 and 12 is (12 + 12)/2 = 12

Answer: 12
