Explanation
The median is the middle number of the set, when it is listed in order from smallest to largest or vice versa. In this case we have an even amount of numbers in the set meaning there are two middle numbers- 8 and 13. In order to find the median we take the average of 8 and 13: 8+13/2=10.5
