Zachary has the following data. (58, 49, h, 54, 69, 62, 45, 69, 50) if the median is 54, which number could be h​

First

Ordenate the data number less to greater

45 49 50 54 58 62 69 69 and h

If h < 54 then

45 49 50 h 54 58 62 69 69

the median would be 54 ------> is ok

If h >54

45 49 50 54 h 58 62 69 69

the nedian would be greater than 54 ------> is not ok

therefore

the value of h must be less than 54

therefore

the answer is 49
