Explanation:

Step1: Order the data

First, we order the given heights from smallest to largest: 45, 45, 46, 48, 48, 50.

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 6 (an even number) data points, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are the 3rd and 4th values. The 3rd value is 46 and the 4th value is 48. We calculate the average: $\frac{46 + 48}{2}=\frac{94}{2} = 47$.
