Answer 2

Explanation:

Determining Median is super easy!

1. Order the numbers, in ascending order.

8, 11, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 16, 18, 21

2. Cross off one number from both ends until you reach the middle number, whether you're left with one or two.

11, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 16, 18

11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 16

12, 13, 15, 16

13, 15

3. Determine the average of these two numbers.

(13 + 15) / 2

28 / 2

14

The median for this set of data is 14.

P.S. the average only needs to be calculated when left with two numbers, if you are left with only one, that number is your answer!

Hope this helps :)
