E) for what value of x the mode of the data
24, 15,40, 23, 27, 26, 22, 25,20, x + 3 found 25?
using the value of x find the median.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Mode = 25
So we know that 25 occurs maximum number of times
Take x + 3 = 25
On further calculation
x = 22
We get
24, 15, 40, 23, 27, 26, 22, 25, 20, 25
By arranging the numbers in ascending order
We get
15, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 25, 26, 27, 40
So the number of observations = 10
We get
Median = ½ {(n/2)th term + (n/2 + 1)th term}
By substituting the values
Median = ½ {(10/2)th term + (10/2 + 1)th term}
So we get
Median = (5th term + 6th term)/2
On further calculation
Median = (24 + 25)/2
We get
Median = 49/2 = 24.5
x = 22 , 24.5 is Median
Step-by-step explanation:
24, 15, 40, 23, 27, 26, 22, 25, 20, x+3
no value is repeated
Mode of data is 25
Hence x + 3 should be 25
so that 25 comes twice
=> x + 3 = 25
=> x = 22
data becomes
24, 15, 40, 23, 27, 26, 22, 25, 20, 25
Arranging in ascending order
15 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 40
Total 10 Values
Median = (5th Value + 6th Value)/2
= (24 + 25)/2
= 24.5
24.5 is Median
