Answer:

15

Explanation:

this asks for the median, and not the mean value.

please notice that these 2 values are often if not mostly different from each other.

the median just defines the middle of the value interval, so that half of the different values are left, and half are right of that median value.

here we have 7 values. do we find one, so that 3 other values are smaller, and 3 other values are bigger than that ?

that is 15.

10, 12, 13 are smaller.

16, 19 and 25 are bigger.

so, 15 is the median.
