Solution:

Concept:

The median is the middle value of an ordered data set. For an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values.

Explanation:

Arrange the 10 scores in ascending order.

12, 19, 24, 39, 45, 51, 54, 67, 75, 81

Since

n=10

is even, the median lies between the

5^{\text{th}}

and

6^{\text{th}}

terms.

The two middle values are

45

and

51

Median

= \frac{45+51}{2} = \frac{96}{2} = 48
