The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in order. For Team 1, the ordered list of points scored is: 14, 16, 16, 16, 18, 18, 18, 19, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 24, 26, 27. The middle value is the average of the two that are in the middle, which is 18. For Team 2, the ordered list of points scored is: 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23. The middle value is also 16. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Median for Team 1: 16, Median for Team 2: 16.
