Answer 1

Given: 18 27 24 22 29 21 23 25 25 31 19 21

The median is the middle number of the numbers given.

Lets arrange the numbers from smallet to largest:

18 19 21 27 21 22 23 24 25 25 29 31

From there we find the middle number by crossing out the numbers on both ends:

18 19 21 21 22 23 24 25 25 27 29 31

As you can see the number in the middle are 23 and 24 but we need one so we just find the number between 23 and 24 which is 23.5

Answer: Median is 23.5
