Question

if 10,13,15,18,x+1,x+3,38,32,35,41 are ten observation is an ascending order with median 24 find the value of x

Answer 1

So here we go:-
If we arrange the numbers in ascending numbers we will get:-
10,13,15,18,x+1,x+3,32 35,38,41
So now the n=10
As we know
Median= 1/2[ n/2 times number +(n/2+1 times number]
=1/2 [10/2 times no. +(10/2 +1) times no.]
= 1/2 ( 5 times no. + 6 times no. )
= 1/2 ( x+1 + x+3) = 1/2 (2x + 4) = x+2

Now according to the question,
x+2 = 24
Or, x= 22
So the ans is :- 22
