Answer:

19.5 is the median

Explanation:

count the amount of numbers presented and we have 6, the next decision differs on whether or not the amount is an even amount or odd, in this case it is an even number. So divide your amount by 2 and we have 3. Then count your first 3 numbers and on the third number you will need to find the average between the third and fourth number, so that would mean finding the number that is in the middle of these two numbers and we have 19.5.
