It is the lower quartile.
When the median has two numbers, you add the two together and divide by 2 . The median doesn't really have 'two numbers'; you are talking about finding the median of a set of numbers that contains an even number of numbers. The median is half-way between the two.
the number that is in the middle of that particular set of numbers.
16.5 is the median. A median is the middle number of a set of numbers in order. If there are an even amount of numbers, as in this case, it is the number half way between the two middle numbers, in this case 16 and 17.
The median is the midpoint of the data set. So half the observations are greater than the median and half are smaller.
