Question

If the median of the data: 24, 25, 26, x + 2, x + 3, 30, 31, 34 is 27.5, then x =
A. 27
B. 25
C. 28
D. 30

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x in the given question is 25

Answer 2

B. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: 24, 25, 26, x + 2, x + 3, 30, 31, 34

Median = 27.5

 N = 8

Median = average of N/2 + N+1/2 th terms

(x + 2 + x + 3) /2 = 27.5

Therefore 2x + 5 = 27.5 * 2  

2x = 55 - 5

2x = 50

x = 50 / 2 = 25

Option B is the answer.
