Question

For what value of x is the median of the following data 34? The data is 20,22,27 28,32,x+2,39,40,41,50

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is 20,22,27 28,32,x+2,39,40,41,50

Total number of observations(n)=10

If number of Observations is even then median is the average of n/2 th term and (n/2)+1 th term

n/2=5  -->5th term is 32.

(n/2)+1=6  -->6th term is x+2

Given median=34

$\frac{32+x+2}{2} =34\\\\x+34=68\\x=68-34\\x=34$
