O D. $169,000

Answer 1

yep. the answer is

$169,000

Answer 2

The median value of the houses is $169,000

Explanation:

Since the houses were undervalued by $15,000, add $15,000 to all amounts

154,000 + 15,000 = 169,000

133,000 + 15,000 = 148,000

167,000 + 15,000 = 182,000

145,000 + 15,000 = 160,000

180,000 + 15,000 = 195,000

172,000 + 15,000 = 187,000

149,000 + 15,000 = 164,000

To take the median of the data set, order the numbers from least to greatest

148,000 160,000 164,000 169,000 182,000 187,000 195,000

Eliminate one number from both sides until you reach one number

The number is 169,000
