    42 minutes is the median amount of time

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Median is the middle value of data set.

    If there is "odd" number of numbers, and there are n numbers, the median is:

    (n/2) + 1 th number

    If there is "even" number of numbers, and there are n numbers, the median is:

    Average of n/2th and (n/2) + 1 th number

    Here, we have 5 numbers, so the median would be:

    (5/2) + 1 th number

    That is

    3rd number

    But, we need to arrange the numbers from least to greatest. Lets write it:

    19, 23, 42, 56, 67

    The third number is 42, this is the median
