To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in the table in ascending order. The numbers given are:

• 13
• 16
• 19
• 20.5
• 23.5

Arranging these in order gives us:

1. 13
2. 16
3. 19
4. 20.5
5. 23.5

The median is the middle value in a sorted list. Since there are five numbers (an odd amount), the median will be the third number in this list.

Thus, the median is:

19
