The median of the data is #10#

Explanation:

The median of a list of numbers is the middle value of the list. First we need to re-write the list in numerical order:

#3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16#

There are #9# numbers in the list, so the middle number is the #5^("th")# number:

#\color{red}(3, 5, 6, 8,) 10, \color{blue}(11, 13, 15, 16)#

so the median of the data is #10#
