Transcript text: The data shows the number of t-shirts sold during 10 days at the state faif,
$10,14,25,25,27,31,36,38,41,53$

D. 43
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending order
The given data is already arranged in ascending order:
\(10, 14, 25, 25, 27, 31, 36, 38, 41, 53\).
Step 2: Determine the number of data points
There are \(10\) data points in the dataset.
Step 3: Calculate the median
Since the number of data points is even (\(10\)), the median is the average of the \(5^{th}\) and \(6^{th}\) values.
The \(5^{th}\) value is \(27\) and the \(6^{th}\) value is \(31\).
Thus, the median is:
\[
\text{Median} = \frac{27 + 31}{2} = 29.
\]
