Find the median of the following data: 15, 45, 48, 55, 50

The median is the middle value of the given list of data when arranged in an order. 

Arranging the given numbers in ascending order: 15, 45, 48, 50, 55

Here, total number of terms = n = 5(Odd)

Then, the median for the odd number of observations is given as:

${\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}^{th} term$

$={\left(\frac{5+1}{2}\right)}^{th} term$

$=3^{rd} term$

$\Rightarrow$48

Therefore, the median of the given data is 48.
