Question

If the median of 46 64 88 40 X 7635 9156 3291 is 58 find the value of x

Answer 1

Arranging in increasing order, we get

32 35 40 46 56 x 64 76 88 91 91 ; the middle most value is x.

So x = 58

Here position of x cannot be any other place because number of observations is odd and no observation has value of 58.
