Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the median of a dataset, we need to arrange the numbers in either ascending or descending order and then find the middle number.

The numbers in the dataset 44, 45, 49, 50, 52, 55 are already in ascending order. We have 6 numbers in the dataset.

Since the number of values is even, we take the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are 49 and 50.

Adding 49 and 50 and dividing by 2 gives:

(49 + 50) / 2 = 99 / 2 = 49.5

Therefore, the median of the dataset is 49.5.
