Answer:

37

Explanation:

First, sort the data in increasing order.

15, 28, 32, 42, 44, 48

The number of data is even (there are 6 numbers), so there isn't one in the middle. In that situation, you average the middle 2 data (32 and 42).

(32 + 42)/2 = 74/2 = 37

If there IS a middle numbe, just use it.
