Correct Answer:
D. 50
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option D: 50.
To find the median of a data set, the first step is to arrange the numbers in ascending order: 14, 14, 29, 40, 48, 50, 51, 73, 76, 78, 89. There are 11 values in this list. Since the number of values is odd, the median is the middle value of the ordered set. Counting to the sixth position, the middle number is 50. Therefore, the median of this data set is 50.
