Answer:
The median is 19.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Organize the numbers from least to greatest
16.3, 17.8, 17.8, 18.0, 18.7, 19.3, 19.6, 20.1, 20.5, 21.9, 25.2, 25.4
Find the middle of the set of numbers
19.3 and 19.6
Add 9.3 and 19.6
19.3 + 19.6=
38.9
Divide by 2
38.9/2
Which is 19.45

Here is the work to go with the answer it is hard to completely type out hope it helped!
Example :
x y
1 3
2 6
3 9
4 12
first thing u do is pick any 2 points (x,y) from ur table
(1,3) and (2,6)
now we sub those into the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to find the slope
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(1,3)....x1 = 1 and y1 = 3
(2,6)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 6
sub
slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 1) = 3/1 = 3
now we use slope intercept formula y = mx + b
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
use any point off ur table...(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 3(1) + b
3 = 3 + b
3 - 3 = b
0 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....which can be written as y = 3x...and if u sub any of ur points into this equation, they should make the equation true....if they dont, then it is not correct
and if u need it in standard form..
y = 3x
-3x + y = 0
3x - y = 0 ...this is standard form
