#(10^(th)+11^(st))/2#

Explanation:

Median is a number lying at the midpoint of data set.
The number of values is 20 and this is an even. That is why median locates between 2 middle numbers. #10^(th) and 11^(st)# numbers located at the same distance from smallest and largest value respectively. So, the half of the sum of these 2 numbers is considered as a median of a data set.
