Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Th bowling scores for six persons have been given as 27, 142, 145, 146, 154, 162.

The most appropriate measure of the center of these scores will be the median.

Here median will be mean of 146 and 146 because number of persons are 6 which is an even number.

So there are two center scores those are 145 and 146 and median =
((145+146))/(2)=145.50

Option D. will be the answer.
