Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
By re-arranging 21, 23, 29, 40, 41, 43| 47, 50| 50, 55, 56, 70, 70, 73
The median = \(\frac{47 + 50}{2}\)
\(\frac{97}{2}\)
= 48\(\frac{1}{2}\)
By re-arranging 21, 23, 29, 40, 41, 43| 47, 50| 50, 55, 56, 70, 70, 73
The median = \(\frac{47 + 50}{2}\)
\(\frac{97}{2}\)
= 48\(\frac{1}{2}\)
