Answer:

the median is 7.5

Explanation:

put the numbers in order from least to greatest which would be 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 13

on a sheet of paper write them in order like above ^

then cross out each number on the end like this (you will cross them out, i am going to delete the ones that are needed to be crossed out.)

5 7 7 8 8 13

7 7 8 8

7 8

with 7 and 8 add them togethef and you should get 15.

Finally take 15 and divide it by 2 because there is two numbers in the middle and you should get 7.5

your final answer should be 7.5 for the median.

I hope thid helped <33
