Question

if the median of 6,4,7,13 and p is 8 then find the value of p​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

median

arrange ascending order

4,6,7,13,p

mean=6+4+7+13+p/5

8=30+p/5

40=30+p

p=40-30

p=10

Answer 2

Therefore p =8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is odd,

Median  =$(\frac{n+1}{2} )^{th}$ term

If n is even

Median =$\frac{(\frac{n}{2}) ^{th}term+(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th}term}{2}$

Given data is 6,4,7,13 and p

First we have to arrange the data in ascending order or descending order.

4,6,7,13,p

Here n = 5

Median= $(\frac{n+1}{2} )^{th}$ term = $(\frac{5+1}{2} )^{th}$ term = 3rd term= 7

Given that median = 8.

But in data there is no element which equals to 8.

Therefore p =8.
