Solution Steps

Step 1: Sort the Data

The sorted data is: [-10, -6, -2, -1, 0, 13].

Step 2: Determine the Number of Data Points (n)

The total number of data points is: 6.

Step 3: Calculate the Median

Since \(n\) is even, the median is the average of the two middle data points after sorting, which are at positions \(n/2\) and \((n/2) + 1\), i.e., positions 3 and 4. Therefore, the median is -2.

Final Answer:

The median of the given data set is -2.
