Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending order:
6, 14, 16, 26, 28, 32, 42, 46, 49
Step 2: Count the number of observations = 9 (odd)
Step 3: Median = Middle term = 5th term
So, Median = $\boxed{28}$
6, 14, 16, 26, 28, 32, 42, 46, 49
Step 2: Count the number of observations = 9 (odd)
Step 3: Median = Middle term = 5th term
So, Median = $\boxed{28}$
