Question

if the median of5, 9,11,3,4,x,8 is 6 the value of x is equal to​

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging the given numbers in ascending order we get :

3,4,5,8,9,11 and x which can be at any place since we do not know its value

here n=7 which is odd

∴ median will be $\frac{n+1}{2} th$ term

∴ median = $\frac{7+1}{2} th$ term

                = 4th term

But the median given is 6

The fourth term of the given data arranged in ascending order will be 6 only when x is placed there and its value is 6

Therefore, x=6
