Question

4,2,5,x,8,2,9,9,8 the value of x if Q2 =6

Answer 1

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{The value of x is 6}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Q2=6 which is equivalent to median of the given numbers

We get the mean by arranging the series in order and the middle term gives us the median

In case there are odd number of terms, the mean is the middle term and if the number of terms are even, the mean is the average of the two middle terms.

This case refers to the odd number of terms.

Its given that the median is 6, and 6 is missing from the series.

So, x will take the value 6 in order to make Q2=6
