Ms. Sue
5, 9, 12, 13, 13, 17

Nope. That doesn't work.

I don't think any of your choices is right.

Ms. Sue has a point. The list will have to be

5, 9, 12, x, 13, 17
or
5, 9, 12, 13, x, 17

Since there are six number, the median will be the average of the middle two.

(12+16)/2 = 14

but 16 cannot be inserted in between 12 and 13, and if it goes after 13, then the median is 12.5
ms. sue is wrong
ms. sue added a 5 and that's where everyone is confused there is only 5 numbers

i think you put an 5 in your question instead of 15 by mistake. 15 could work though.
