Given data in ascending order: 

50, 60, 65, 70, 70, 80 85, 90, 95, 95 

∴ Number of observations (n) = 10 (i.e., even) 

∴ Median is the average of middle two observations Here, 5th and 6th numbers are in the middle position 

∴ Median = \(\cfrac{70+80}{2}\)

∴ Median = \(\cfrac{150}{2}\)

∴ The median of the weights of tomatoes is 75 grams.
