18.518.5

Explanation:

The median is the middle value. To find it we first need to write the numbers in order:

1,4,6,11,14,17,18,19,20,30,31,33, 35,391,4,6,11,14,17,18,19,20,30,31,33,35,39

We have 14 values which means there are 2 middle values - one from the smallest up and the other from the biggest down (14 values and so 7 up and 7 down):

18, 1918,19

We take the simple average of these two values:

(18+19)/2=18.518+192=18.5 and end up with the median.
