5, 9, 12, 13, 13, 17

Nope. That doesn't work.

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

Answer 3

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
