Answer:

-3.5

Step-by-step explanation:First you need to order the numbers so the numbers ordered would be -20,-16,-10-,10-,7,0,1,2,5,8 the median is finding the middle number in a list so you would cross of the end numbers until you are left -7 and 0 you then find the mid point of these two numbers which is -3.5 so that would be the answer.
